Littenseradiel The municipality of Baarderadeel was created on October 1st, 1816 through the merger of the previously independent municipalities of Bozum and Jorwerd.

New municipality The new municipality was created on January 1, 2018 as part of the territorial reforms in the Netherlands, in which the number of municipalities is significantly reduced over a longer period of time. While Het Bildt, Franekeradeel and Menalderadiel were completely absorbed into the new parish, it received the four places Baaium, Spannum, Winsum and Wjelsryp from the dissolved parish Littenseradiel. Westergo was chosen as the working name for the new municipality . As a community name, Waadhoeke was able to prevail against the other two proposals Franeker and Nij-Westergo . The name indicates that the new community is located in a corner on the Wadden Sea.
