The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Hedawere, and means "terp of Heda/Hidde (person)".[4] Hidaard is a small terp (artificial living hill) village on the eastern tip of the former Easterein peninsula. It is still located on a dead-end road.[5]

The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1873 and is a replacement of a medieval church.[5] According to a legend, the first church was founded in 1303.[6] During the restoration, the grave of the last abbot of the Bloemkamp Abbey discovered in the church.[5]
