History
[edit | edit source]Scheerwolde is a relatively new village, as it only came into being in 1952. It is located in a reclaimed part of the Weerribben-Wieden. After peat excavations, part of the area was reclaimed again. The land became water and water became land again, after which a new village emerged.[3]
