History
The village was first mentioned in 1444 as Zwaech, and means (cattle) pasture belonging to Kollum.[5] Kollumerzwaag developed on a clay ridge from which the heath was cultivated during the 11th and 12th century. It developed into a linear settlement.[6] Originally there were two hamlets: Zwagerveen and Zandbulten. In 1971, they were merged and renamed to Kollumerzwaag.[4]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 12th century. The tower was added slightly later. The spire was replaced in 1872 and was altered in 1960 during restoration.[6]
In 1840, Kollumerzwaag was home to 513 people. In the mid-19th century, the village started to industrialize and grow.[4]
