The village was first mentioned in 1345 as Udam, and means "damn outside the dike".[3] Uitdam and neighbouring Zuiderwoude formed a heerlijkheid in 1628 which existed until 1811. Uitdam was home to 88 people in 1840. The first church was built in the 17th century. The current church dates from 1937.[4]
