History
The village was first mentioned in 1282 as de Middewalda, and means middle woods. Midwolda is a road village which developed in the Middle Ages at the edge of the former peninsula of Winschoten. The All Saints' Flood of 1570 caused an extension of the Dollart, and the village moved to the south near the dike constructed in 1565.
