This number of citizens makes Damwâld the largest village in the municipality of Dantumadiel. History The present day village of Damwâld is a merged place of three older villages, merged in 1971. The three villages were; Dantumawoude ''(Dantumawâld)'', Akkerwoude ''(Ikkerwâld)'' and Murmerwoude ''(Moarrewâld)''. But it was in the 19th century that the villages started really growing together already.
