History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Forwalda, and means "before (=close to) the woods".[4] Ferwoude is an agriculture community close to the former Zuiderzee dike. It is mainly low-lying land which used for animal husbandry.[5]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1767 and was a replacement of a 13th century church.[5] Ferwoude had a school before 1800. It was forced to close in 2015-2016 due to lack of students. Nowadays, it contains the village house.[6]
Ferwoude was home to 109 people in 1840.[6] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[6]
