The village was first mentioned between 1130 and 1161 as Werthere, and means "island".[3] The original village was probably more to the east on the former lake Almere and moved inland as the Zuiderzee started to grow.[4] The current Warder developed in the late 12th century as a peat excavation settlement. The elementary school was built as an L-shaped building with tower in 1885. It was renovated around 1920.[5]

Warder was home to 290 people in 1840.[4] It was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1970, when the new municipality of Zeevang was created.[6] In 2016, it became part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam.[4]
