History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as "in Sibaldebuere hove", and means "settlement of Sibald (person)".[4] Sebaldeburen is a road village which developed in the Middle Ages on a sandy ridge.[5]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1807. The polder mill De Eendracht dates from 1887 as the replacement of a mill from 1801 which burnt down.[5]

Sebaldeburen used to be the capital of the Langewold [nl] region. In 1811 it became part of the municipality of Grootegast. It was home to 278 people in 1840.[6]
