Katwoude is a village in the province of North Holland, Netherlands. It is a part of the municipality of Waterland, and lies on the coast of the IJsselmeer, about 2 km north of Monnickendam. The village was first mentioned in 1310 as "lant van Kattwoude". Even though there is a cat in the shield dating from 1566, it is not related to the animal.[3] The name of the village refers to a swamp forest (-woude) that grew on kattige soil. This refers to the poor, lumpy peat soil around Katwoude.[4] Katwoude was home to 182 people in 1840. It used to be a separate municipality between 1817 and 1991, when it became part of Waterland.[5] Katwoude used to share a mayor with Monnickendam.[6] The hamlet Zedde is part of Katwoude.
