-werd comes from Old Frisian wrt ("wierde"), but the origin of Feer- is unknown. Just like Fer- with Ferwerd, it is seen as the uninflected form of the man's name Feder, identical to the Old Frisian feder ("father").

From the start, several attempts were made (in vain) to move the town hall from Ezinge to Feerwerd: in 1832, 1866, 1898, 1899, and 1915. The village has changed little since the 19th century. The most important change was the digging of the Oldehoofsch canal in 1827, which created a road connection south of the village, on which a mill and a café were built. With the construction of bridges over the Aduarderdiep and the Reitdiep in the 1930s, this also became the main road.

In 1922 the village was connected to the electricity grid, in 1924 paving was laid in the village, and the northern part of the village was connected to the sewage system, followed by the southern part in 1927.

According to Olthuis, this was because there were too few children in Ezinge, but it also played a role in the fact that employment at Aduarderzijl virtually disappeared due to the decline in agricultural employment at the beginning of the 20th century, which meant that the number of children who went to school from there in Feerwerd also declined sharply. It was, therefore, more logical to move the school to Ezinge. After the school had successively served as a distribution office during the war and from 1955 onwards as a gymnastics building, the building was used as a village hall after a major renovation between 1976 and 1978.
