Noardburgum (Dutch; Flemish: Noordbergum) is a village in Tytsjerksteradiel municipality in the Friesland province of the Netherlands. It had a population of around 2,250 in January 2017.[3]

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]
