Midwolda (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Oldambt, about 7 km northwest of Winschoten.
Midwolda was a separate municipality until 1990, when it was merged with Scheemda.[1]
History
The village was first mentioned in 1282 as de Middewalda, and means middle woods.[2] Midwolda is a road village which developed in the Middle Ages at the edge of the former peninsula of Winschoten.[3] The All Saints' Flood of 1570 caused an extension of the Dollart, and the village moved to the south near the dike constructed in 1565.[3][2] The old church remained behind, however the tower collapsed in 1667, and the church was demolished in 1738.[3]
The current Dutch Reformed church was built between 1738 and 1740, and has a tower from 1708. The borg Ennemaborg might date from before 1391. It is surrounded by a moat and received its current shape in 1681.[3]
Midwolda was home to 1,674 people in 1840.[4] It was independent municipality until 1990 when it was merged with Scheemda. Since 2010, it is part of Oldambt.[4]
