Garmerwolde (; or ) is a village in the municipality of Groningen in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands. The village is partly located on the and has a population of 495 (2021). Until 1 January 2019 the village belonged to the municipality of Ten Boer.
==History== In the Middle Ages there was peat in the region (which explains the toponymic suffix ). Subdivision patterns show that the village was created by reclamation from the western bank of the Fivelboezem. Perpendicular to the direction of allotment, residential axes arose, of which Garmerwolde was the last. Then they encountered the reclamation from the west bank of the Hunze from which Noorddijk had arisen. The Borgsloot forms the border between these two allotment axes.
