It is a part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam, and lies about 7 km northeast of Purmerend.

The village was first mentioned between 1130 and 1161 as Werthere, and means "island".[1] The original village was probably more to the east on the former lake Almere and moved inland as the Zuiderzee started to grow.[2] The current Warder developed in the late 12th century as a peat excavation settlement. The elementary school was built as an L-shaped building with tower in 1885. It was renovated around 1920.[3]

Warder was home to 290 people in 1840.[2] It was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1970, when the new municipality of Zeevang was created.[4] In 2016, it became part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam.[2]
