Ravenswoud (West Frisian: Ravenswâld) is a village consisting of about 400 inhabitants in the municipality of Ooststellingwerf in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands. Ravenswoud was founded as a peat-cutter settlement in 1850. Having this origin, the owners of the peat-rich earth hired workers to undo the soil of peat. In 1871 the first house was built and the first petition for a school came in 1881. After the first world war the population increased due to the building of houses by the local housing association. By relocating typically a-social families to here, the village got a bad reputation. Their decrepit houses were demolished around 1949 and the land was sold to the government or private buyers.
