History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as in Sibaldebuere hove, and means "settlement of Sibald (person)". Sebaldeburen is a road village which developed in the Middle Ages on a sandy ridge.

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1807. The polder mill De Eendracht dates from 1887 as the replacement of a mill from 1801 that burnt down.

Sebaldeburen used to be the capital of the Langewold [nl] region. In 1811 it became part of the municipality of Grootegast. It was home to 278 people in 1840.
