History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as in Sibaldebuere hove, and means "settlement of Sibald (person)".[3] Sebaldeburen is a road village which developed in the Middle Ages on a sandy ridge.[4]
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.[4]
Sebaldeburen used to be the capital of the Langewold region. In 1811 it became part of the municipality of Grootegast. It was home to 278 people in 1840.[5]
