History
The village was first mentioned in 1867 as "Zd Schemer (Zwarte kerkje)" and means "southern (part) of the Schermer (polder)". Zuidschermer developed after the Schermer was poldered in 1635 at the intersection of the Zuidervaart with the Driehuizerweg. It started to grow after 1930. The Dutch Reformed church is better known as Zwarte Kerkje (Little black church). It was constructed out of tarred wood in 1662. In 1831, it was connected with the school. In 1834, the walls were rebuilt in stone. The Catholic St Michaels Church is a three aisled basilica-like church with a needle spire in expressionist style. It was constructed between 1930 and 1931. In 1987, a little paaltjasker was built near the farm Blockerhoeck. Zuidschermer was home to 377 people in 1840.
