In 1905 workers came across an urn cemetery from the Iron Age and in 1988 potsherds and a well-preserved clay pot were discovered; the finds were dated to 500 BC. Dated.

Wrohm was first mentioned in a document in 1447 in a complaint by the Dithmarscher against an attack by the Holsteiners. The name Wrohm should be traced back to the location of the village: "place in the bay" or "place in the corner". The village belonged to the parish of Tellingstedt .
