== History == The village was first mentioned in 1449 as Aesterma, and means "eastern settlement". Eastrum is a terp (artificial living mound) village from the Middle Ages. The terp is tall, but a large part has been excavated around 1900. The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 16th century, but has a 13th-century tower.
