History

The village was first mentioned in 944 as Edenwerfa. The etymology is unclear.^[4] The tower of the Dutch Reformed church dates from the 15th century; however, the nave is from 1774. In 1840, Ideard was home to 86 people.^[5]

Before 2014, Idaerd was part of the municipality of Boarnsterhim, and before 1984 it belonged to Idaarderadeel.^[5] Boarnsterhim was dissolved, and its territory was split between four other municipalities: De Fryske Marren, which was established the same day; Leeuwarden; Heerenveen; and Súdwest-Fryslân.
