History

The village was first mentioned between 825 and 842 as Hasalon. The name means "settlement near hazel trees (corylus avellana)".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hieslum |title=Hieslum - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=6 April 2022 |language=nl}} Hieslum is a terp (artificial living hill) which used to be located between lakes. The lakes were later poldered.{{cite web|url=https://www.frieslandwonderland.nl/plaats/hieslum |title=Hieslum |website=Friesland Wonderland |access-date=6 April 2022 |language=nl}}

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1874 as a replacement of a church from around 1300. It is almost identical to the church of Idsegahuizum.

Hieslum was home to 64 people in 1840.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/hieslum |title=Hieslum |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=6 April 2022 |language=nl}} Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.
