On 1 January 1971 Akkerwoude, Dantumawoude and Murmerwoude were combined to form Damwâld.

In 1889 a dairy cooperative factory "Dokkumer Wâlden and omstreken" was established.

This dairy factory was set up on the initiative of doctor Van der Sluis, the school master in Woudstra.

In 1969, the dairy factory merged with Noordoostergo at Dokkum and the factory in Akkerwoude closed its doors.
