History

The village was first mentioned in 1718 as Bergumer heide. The current name means north of Burgum. [4] Noardburgum developed in the 19th century as a heath cultivation project of Nicolaas Ypey. [5]

The Protestant church was built between 1849 and 1850. The poorhouse was built in 1843, and is currently houses a clog museum. [6]

A large complex for drinking water extraction in the region was constructed in the 1920s. In 1984, a decalcification unit was added to terrain. [5] Noardburgum was awarded village status in 1930. [6]
