History

It was first mentioned in the late 13th century as Ruthne. A chapel was constructed in the 14th century, and the judge for Zevenwouden [nl] had its seat in Rottum. Landtags were also held in the village. The chapel was replaced by a church in 1414, and demolished in 1791. Only the bell tower remains. In 1840, it was home to 209 people.

Before 2014, Rottum was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Haskerland [nl]. Before 1934, Rottum was part of the Schoterland [nl] municipality.
