History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Baym, and means "settlement of the people of Bado or Beie".[4] In 1186, a priory of the Premonstratensian was founded as St. Michael's Mountain, but became colloquially known as Monniken-Bajum (Monks-Bajum). The monastery was destroyed in 1592.[4][5] A church was built in the late-12th century. The church was replaced in 1876
Baaium was home to 108 people in 1840.[5] Before 2018, the village was part of the Littenseradiel municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Hennaarderadeel municipality.[5]
