The village was originally called Den Hitsert.[3] The current name was first used between 1839 and 1859. It is named after the eponymous polder. Zuid (south) has been added to distinguish from Oud-Beijerland and Nieuw-Beijerland.[4] Zuid-Beijerland developed as a dike village after the polder was enclosed with a dike in 1631. It became an independent parish in 1671. The church is a cruciform church with needle spire which was built in 1933 after its predecessor burnt down. The church belongs to the Protestant community of Zuid-Beijerland.[5]

Zuid-Beijerland was home to 798 people in 1840.[3] It was a separate municipality until 1984, when it became part of Korendijk, which itself later became Hoeksche Waard.[6]
