The village was first mentioned in 1448 as Doyenga.[4] In 1840, it was home to 104 people. It used to have a little village centre with a school, inn, church and library, but only the belfry remains. The church was demolished in the 19th century. The belfry dates from 1901.[5]
Before 2009, Doniaga was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Doniawerstal.[5]
