The village was first mentioned around 1312 as Scaderwoude. The etymology is unclear.[3] Scharwoude often experienced floods due to its proximity to the former Zuiderzee. It was flooded in 1375. The current shape of the dike and the village date from 1854. The former church dates from 1892. It was decommissioned in 1986, and is now a residential home.[4]
