The village was first mentioned in 1295 as "sancti Bonifacii in Waelkerken", and means "pond created after a dike breach".[3] De Waal started to developed after the Waalenburg polder was created in 1436. The Dutch Reformed church is built on a terp (artificial hill). It was destroyed in 1945 during the Georgian uprising. A new church was built in 1952 and a tower was added in 1961.[4]
