History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century Hunenghe, and means "settlement of the people of Huno (person)".[4] Húns is a twin village with Leons and both share a village flag. The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 13th century. In 1840, Húns was home to 117 people.[5]
The polder mill De Huinsermolen was built in 1829. The mill drains the excess water from the polder. In 1958, a Diesel powered pumping station was installed, however the wind mill is regularly in service.[6]
Before 2018, the village was part of the Littenseradiel municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Baarderadeel municipality.[5]
