## History

The name Hartem is derived from "Hartmar". At one time this was the name given to the eldest member of a family or clan. Hartem had been an agriculturally based village since the 12th century. Its main source of income until the 19th century was sheep farming of the [Heidschnucke](/source/Heidschnucke) moorland sheep.

At the time of their resettlement there were 123 inhabitants in Hartem.
