==History== Neermoor is a subsidiary settlement of Edana and was probably founded further east on the edge of the moor before its demise in the 11th century. The oldest documented mention dates back to the year 1400. In one document Neermoor is listed as Edenramora. Later name variants were Nymramore (1409), Eramoere (1428), Edramora (1436), Eddermore (1439), Neydermoer (1481), Neddermoer (1494) and Neermohr (1577). The place name is probably derived from the desolate parent settlement of Edana.
