'''Garnwerd''' is a [[Terp|wierde village]] next to the Reitdiep in the municipality of [[Westerkwartier (municipality)|Westerkwartier]] in the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] province of [[Groningen (province)|Groningen]].
== History ==
The village was first mentioned in the 10th or 11th century as "ad Granauurð". The etymology is unclear.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/garnwerd |title=Garnwerd (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=9 April 2022 |language=nl}}</ref> Garnwerd is a elongated ''[[terp]]'' (artificial living hill) village which developed in the Middle Ages. In 1629, the {{ill|Reitdiep|nl|Reitdiep (diep)}} was canalised and moved to the village. The village flourished due to the trade from [[Groningen]] to the former [[Lauwerszee]].<ref name="monument">{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu04_01/sten009monu04_01_0032.php |title=Garnwerd |author=Ronald Stenvert & Redmer Alma |location=Zwolle |publisher=Waanders |year=1998 |isbn=90 400 9258 3 |language=nl |access-date=9 April 2022}}</ref>
