## History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century Mantingum, and means "settlement of the people of Mante (person)".[4] Mantgum is a *[terp](/source/Terp)* (artificial living mound) village which originates from around 700. A main road used to pass through the village and over the *terp*. The Dutch Reformed church was built around 1500 as a replacement of a 13th century church. Between 1865 and 1867, it was enlarged and received [Gothic Revival](/source/Gothic_Revival_architecture) elements. The tower was added in 1868.[5]

In 1840, Mantgum was home to 254 people.[6] Around 1860, a large part of the *terp* was excavated.[5] During the 19th century, villas were built in the village by wealthy citizens of Leeuwarden to retire in.[6]

Before 2018, the village was part of the [Littenseradiel](/source/Littenseradiel) municipality and before 1984 it belonged to [Baarderadeel](/source/Baarderadeel) municipality.[6]
