Lytsewierrum was home to 167 people in 1840.[6] The village is located at a dead-end road (for cars), because Cornelis Rimmerts Faber, the grietman (predecessor of mayor) of Hennaarderadeel did not want a road through his lands. Before 2018, the village was part of the Littenseradiel municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Hennaarderadeel municipality.[6]
