History
The village was first mentioned in 1786 as de Pomp, and means "drainage canal of Kollum, and with was dug around 1534 to the sea dike to polder the Pompster Ryd.[5] The Reformed church was built in 1906.[6] In 1840, Kollumerpomp was home to 75 people.[4]
The polder mill De Westermolen was built in 1845. In 1959, a storm caused a broken stock. The owner wanted to demolish it, but no permission was granted, and a Diesel engine was installed instead. In 1961, it was bought by the municipality and restored in 1984. In 1988, it was recommissioned.[7]
The Resistance monument was unveiled in 1950 to honor the memory of four individuals from the Dutch resistance who seized control of the sluice on April 13 to 14, 1945. Despite facing German forces, they valiantly defended their position for 36 hours. Unfortunately, three of them died in the encounter. Additionally, one member of the relief force, who came to their aid on April 16, also died. The monument stands as a tribute to their bravery and sacrifice.[8]
