The first time the town was named was as Uluringhem in the 11th century.
Ulrum is sited on two mounds. On the western one stands the Romano-Gothic church of Ulrum (built at the end of the 12th century), on the eastern mound stood the Asingaborg.
Ulrum was once a thriving village with many tradesmen and small businesses. Now only agricultural activity remains.
Ulrum was a separate municipality until 1990, when it merged with Eenrum, Kloosterburen, and Leens. The new municipality was called Ulrum at first, but was renamed to De Marne in 1992.[3]
