The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Hemericke, and means village area.[4] Hemrik developed on a sandy ridge in a heath and moorland region. Around 1750, the Opsterlandse Compagnonsvaart was dug for the excavation of peat.[5] A chapel existed in the village as early as 1315.[6] The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1739,[5] and is colloquially called White Church due its white plaster.[6]

Hemrik was home to 352 people in 1840.[6]
