Hallum is a small village in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It is part of the municipality of Ferwerderadiel. The primary language spoken there is Frisian. Hallum is also a relatively uncommon family name. There was a station on the North Friesland Railway which opened in 1901 and closed in 1935, although it reopened between May 1940 and July 1942. A restored windmill used to stand near the village. In 2000 it got moved to Burgwerd due to expanding industry and renamed "Aylvapoldermolen".
Like many towns in the region, it was built on land recovered from the North Sea. There was a standard layout for these towns. The center of the town was called the Terp. The Terp was the highest prominence in the town, and the streets radiated outward, like ripples on a pond, and were intersected by streets which reached out from the center, like spokes on a bike.
