The village was first mentioned in 1402 as Burstera Rede, and means "farm house".^[5] The Dutch Reformed church was built around 1500 and as pigeon holes. The church does not look that old, because a layer of plaster had been applied to hide the somewhat ruinous stones.^[6]

Boer was home to 93 people in 1840.^[4]
