The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Sigerwolde, and means "the woods of Sieger (person)".[4] Siegerwoude developed as three little hamlets in a peat excavation area. The Dutch Reformed church dated from 1910, but burnt down in 1941. In 1949, it was rebuilt.[5]
Siegerwoude was home to 210 people in 1840.[5]
