History
The village was first mentioned in 1481 as Suwald, and means "southern swamp forest". Suwâld is located on an elongated narrow sandy ridge near the Wijde Ee river.[3] It developed in the middle ages. The Dutch Reformed church probably dates from the 12th century. The tower collapsed in 1828, and in 1889 a new tower was added to the church.[4]
Suwâld was home to 263 people in 1840.[2]
