Aldeboarn () is a village in Heerenveen in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 1545 in January 2017. Aldeboarn has an iconic church tower.
==History== The village was first mentioned in 1243 as "jn Bornde". "Boarn" is a river name which means bank. Alde (old) is usually added to distinguish from another village perhaps . Aldeboard developed in the 11th or 12th century along the Boorne river as an elongated terp (artificial living mound) village. It became a trading place, and developed into a regional centre.
