The East Frisian local historian Otto Galama Houtrouw suspects that Rhaude was founded during the time of Charlemagne . The village was possibly first mentioned as in Renuuidu as early as the 10th century . In the first secured documentary mentions of 1438 and 1439 the place is called Rawede or Rawide .

The Rhauder church dates from the 14th century.

During the Thirty Years War , Peter Ernst II of Mansfeld invaded the Overledingerland from Holland via Münster with 3,000 men on foot and 3,000 horsemen (1622). Rhaude and the neighboring town of Holte had to bear the burden of billeting. In 1637, Landgrave Wilhelm von Hessen and 7000 men moved up from the Munster. The Rhauder Schanze was stormed by General Rantfou.

In the 17th century, Rhaude was the starting point for the first beginnings of the colonists in the raised bogs to the south . Until the 19th century, the parish also remained the mother parish and parish for the neighboring moor colonies and Fehne.

The district of the old Geestdorf today covers an area of 496 hectares. The population is about 400.

On January 1, 1973, Rhaude was incorporated into the new municipality of Rhauderfehn.
