History


The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Burum, and means neighbourhood.[7] Burum is a terp (artificial living mound) village. An output of the monastery of Gerkesklooster was established near the village. During the 13th or 14th century the area around Burum was poldered. The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1784 as a replacement of an medieval church.[8]

The grist mill Windlust was built in 1787 near Burum. In 2012, it burnt down and in 2014, a near identical new wind mill was built. The windmill is operation, but only on a voluntary basis.[9]

In 1840, Burum was home to 1,121 people.[10] In 1973, the satellite communication centre It Grutte Ear [nl] opened near Burum.[11] In 2014, the ground station of the Dutch national signals intelligence service was added to the site.[3]
