The village was first mentioned in 1549 as Bunne. The etymology is unclear.[3] Buinen is an esdorp from the Middle Ages which developed as a satellite of Borger. The elongated village has no church or brink (village square).[4]
Buinen was home to 260 people in 1840.[5] Between 1905 and 1945, there was a railway station in Buinen on the Zwolle to Stadskanaal railway line. The building was demolished in 1961.[6] The railway line and harbour resulted in some growth until about 1940. In 1977, the harbour was filled up.[5]
