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]
