History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Ytzinghahusum, and means "settlement of the people of Idse (person)". [4] Idsegahuizum is a terp (artificial living hill) village which is located near the former Zuiderzee (nowadays: IJsselmeer). It is an agricultural community which specialises in potatoes and gladioli . The village could only be reached via the sea dike. Between 1876 and 1879, the Makkumermeer was poldered and road was built to Allingawier and the world beyond. [5]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1870 as a replacement of a medieval church. [5] In 1874, a nearly identical church was built in Hieslum. [6]

Idsegahuizum was home to 77 people in 1840. [7] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality. [7]
