The village was first mentioned in 1320 as Spangghe. The etymology is unclear.[4] The Dutch Reformed church was demolished in 1831. In 1851, a bell tower was erected as its replacement. The tower was destroyed during a storm in 1954, and a new tower was built in 1955 which was replaced in 1989.[5]

Spanga was home to 121 people in 1840.[5]
