History
The village was first mentioned in 1471 as Eerndwaud. The etymology is unclear. It was sometimes called "Arendswoude" (forest of the eagle), however that is merely a corruption of the Frisian name.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/earnewald |title=Earnewâld - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}} Earnewâld developed in the 18th century as a peat excavation village. The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1794.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu06_01/sten009monu06_01_0049.php |title=Earnewâld |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9476 4 |language=nl |access-date=5 April 2022}}
Earnewâld was home to 310 people in 1840. The village was isolated until 1860 when a road to Garyp was constructed.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/earnew%C3%A2ld |title=Earnewâld |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}} It is home to a shipping wharf for historic ships. After World War II, it started to become a tourist water sports centre.
In 2017, an Avro Lancaster bomber was salvaged from the National Park, and is on display at the visitor centre of Earnewâld. The English bomber was attacked by a German fighter on the night of 4 to 5 September 1942 and crashed into the swamp. Three of the seven crew members died. Two are buried in Earnewâld. One body remains missing. The survivors were taken prisoner.{{cite web|url=https://www.tracesofwar.nl/sights/133712/Crashlocatie-Lancaster-R5682.htm |title=Crashlocatie Lancaster R5682 |website=Traces of War |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}}
