History
The village was first mentioned in 1523 as tho Meyledam, and either means middle dam or dam of Meila (person).[2] Mildam developed in the 18th century near a place where the Template:Ill river could be crossed. Nowadays, it is more of a suburb of Heerenveen. The current Dutch Reformed church was rebuilt in 1726.[3] In 1840, Mildam was home to 297 people.[4]
The Tjongermolen is a polder mill built in 1983 to replace a ruinous mill from 1869.[5]
Before 1934, Mildam was part of the Schoterland municipality.[4]
