The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1876, and replaces a 1741 church which in turn replaced a predecessor probably from the 12th century. The tower dates from 1985, because it was destroyed by a lightning strike.
Hommerts was home to 322 people in 1840. Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality.
