History
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.{{Cite web |url=https://www.visitweerribbenwieden.com/weerribben-wieden/scheerwolde/ |title=Scheerwolde |website=Nationaal Park Weerribben-Wieden |access-date=27 October 2024 |language=nl}}
