History
The village was first mentioned in 1453 as suwamer, and means "southern lake". Su (south) was added to distinguish between Eastermar and Template:Ill.[3] Sumar developed in the late middle ages as a collection of spread out farms around the church.[4] The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1769 as a replacement of an earlier church.[4]
Sumar was home to 457 people in 1840.[5] Around 1900, the heath in the area was cultivated.[2] The dairy factory De Harste was built 1908 and is a combination of rational and Jugendstil architecture.[4] The north of the village near the Prinses Margriet Canal started to industrialize.[5]
The school teacher Kornelis Lieuwes de Vries developed the Bintje potato in 1898 which became one of the most popular potato varieties. The potato was named after the 17-year old Bintje Jansma, one of his students, in 1905.[5]
