History
Marum is located in the peat area, and was an agricultural village.[2] It was first mentioned in 1385 and probably means village near the lake.[3] In 1795, it was home to 351 people.[4]
Marum started to industrialise in the early 20th century,[5] the tram from Groningen to Drachten resulted in further growth.[2] The construction of the A7 motorway has resulted in the development of a suburban town.[5] In 2019, it ceased to be an independent municipality and was merged into Westerkwartier.[1]
