history

Wormer is probably one of the oldest villages in the Zaan region . Some assume that the place is noted in a manuscript from the ninth century as uueromeri . The settlement was evidently listed in 1063 by the Egmond monastery under the name Weremere .

The village was independent for a long time, except between 1518 and 1611 when it was merged with Jisp. The place finally lost its independence in 1991 when it was merged with Jisp and Wijdewormer to form the new municipality of Wormerland.
