History
The village was first mentioned in 1482 as Ghawe, and was the name of a stream.[4] Gauw is a terp village which was somewhat isolated. The medieval church was demolished in 1685 for a new church which in turn was replaced in the 19th century. The tower probably dates from the 13th century.[5]
Gauw was home to 144 people in 1840.[6] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality.[6]
