The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Forwalda, and means "before (=close to) the woods".[2] Ferwoude is an agriculture community close to the former Zuiderzee dike. It is mainly low-lying land which used for animal husbandry.[3]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1767 and was a replacement of a 13th century church.[3] 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.[4]
Ferwoude was home to 109 people in 1840.[4] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.[4]
