Until 2018, the village was part of the Franekeradeel municipality. The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Herbadingum, and means "settlement of the people of Herbad (person)". Herbaijum is a small terp (artificial living hill) village. The stins Sikkema State was built in the 15th century or earlier. One of the inhabitants was Sicco van Goslinga, grietman (mayor/judge) of Frankeradeel and curator of the University of Franeker. In the late-18th century, the estate was torn down and replaced by a farm, and only the gate remains. Herbaijum was home to 215 people in 1840. The church was built in the Middle Ages; general estimates point to establishment around the second half of the 13th century. It was dedicated to Nicolaos van Myra.
