Onwaard is a former municipality in the Dutch province of South Holland. It was located east of the village of Melissant on the island Goeree-Overflakkee. The municipality contained no villages or hamlets; only a few farms. It consisted of a number of small polders: Onwaard, Oud-Kraaijer, Kraaijenisse, and part of the Nieuw-Kraaijer polder.[1]
The municipality existed between 1817 and 1857, when it merged with Melissant.[2] It had 170 inhabitants in the middle of the 19th century.[1]
