    The village was first mentioned in 1412 as Wartena. Warten was originally a Terp village (artificial residential hill) in the early Middle Ages. It later developed into a canal village. The Dutch Reformed Church was built in 1780 to replace the medieval church. The tower was restored in 1880. The Oud Friese Greidboerderij is an old Frisian longhouse farm built on a terp around 1728. It is one of the few remaining farms that is still in its original condition.

    The De Ikkers polder mill dates back to the 18th century. In 1921 it was purchased and moved to Snikzwaag to remove excess water from the Broeksterpolder. In 1970 it was bought back and relocated and restored, but is not in use.

    In 1840 Warten was home to 461 people. Until 2014 Warten was part of the municipality of Boarnsterhim and until 1984 it belonged to Idaarderadeel. Text: Wikipedia

      Opposite the church at By Boellies you can enjoy a drink in the sun.

        The bascule bridge in Warten crosses the Wartenster Wiid on the way to the marina.
