History

The village was first mentioned between 1399 and 1401 as Yrntzom, and means "settlement of the people of Irin". [5] Jirnsum developed as a terp (artificial living mound) living along the Boorne  [ nl ] river. Later, it became a road village. The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1877. The Mennonite church dates from 1684 and received its current form in 1866. [6] In 1840, Jirnsum was home to 525 people. [7] In 1868, the Grou-Jirnsum railway station opened. [8]

Before 2014, Jirnsum was part of Boarnsterhim municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Rauwerdhem. [7]
