History
The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Kathaleke. The etymology is unclear.[4] The village had a chapel as early as 1254. In 1525, a church without tower was built. The double bell tower has been restored in 1930. In 1840, Katlijk was home to 241 people.[5]
Before 1934, Katlijk was part of the Schoterland municipality.[5]
