History
The village was first mentioned around 1275 as Alingwere, and means "settlement of the people of Ale (person)".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/allingawier |title=Allingawier - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}} Allingawier was a terp (artificial living hill) village which was located on a ridge between lakes and pools. It was originally a fishing village.{{cite web|url=https://www.frieslandwonderland.nl/plaats/allingawier |title=Allingawier |website=Friesland Wonderland |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}}
Allingawiere already had a church before 1000. In 1634, the church was replaced by a chapel with a new tower. In 1839, after the Doleantie (schism in the Dutch Reformed Church), the Reformed community built a little church which now serves as visitor centre for the Aldfaers Erf Route.
Allingawier was home to 114 people in 1840.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/allingawier |title=Allingawier |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}} Between 1876 and 1879, the lakes Makkumermeer and Parregastermeer were poldered, and a canal was dug from Makkum to Tjerkwerd.
In 1973, the Allinga State was built to resemble a 16th-century stins (manor house) with a tower with bells. It was in use as a bed and breakfast, but in 2021, it was for sale.{{cite news|url=https://lc.nl/friesland/sudwest-fryslan/Nepkasteel-Allingastate-in-Allingawier-staat-te-koop-vraagprijs-18-miljoen-euro-26960928.html |title=Nepkasteel Allingastate in Allingawier staat te koop, vraagprijs: 1,8 miljoen euro |website=Leeuwarder Courant |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl |date=27 July 2021}} The estate was named after a 14th-century stins located a terp which was replaced in 1873 by a farm and a workman's house.
Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.
