History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Humerke, and means border land of probably Huga (person).{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hommerts |title=Hommerts - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=6 April 2022 |language=nl}} Hommerts is a linear canal village. Between 1843 and 1844, the road Sneek-Lemmer was built, and the village extended towards to road.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu06_01/sten009monu06_01_0085.php |title=Hommerts |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9476 4 |language=nl |access-date=6 April 2022}}

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.
