The village was first mentioned in 855 as Aspanmora. The etymology is unclear. Exmorra is a
terp (artificial mount village) from the middle ages. The Dutch Reformed Church was built in the 13th century from yellow and red bricks. The tower collapsed in 1836 in a storm and was rebuilt. The church was extensively restored between 1963 and 1966. Before 2011, the village was part of the
Wûnseradiel municipality. ==Overview==
