History

The village was first mentioned in the late-9th century as Ruonwerde, and means terp or Runo.[5] Raard is a terp (artificial living mound) village with an oval shape dating from several centuries before Christ.[6]

The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 13th century and was restored in 1978.[6] The author Piet Paaltjens used to be a minister at the church.[4] The Reformed church dates from 1918, and a replaces an 1893 church.[6]

In 1840, Raard was home to 133 people.[4] Most of the terp was excavated at the end of the 19th century.[6]
