It was founded in 1952. In order to create the Noordoostpolder, sluices and pumping stations had to be built. Preliminary work began in 1936. The pumping station Buma was constructed between 1939 and 1941, and is one of the three original pumping stations for the polder. Buma is a fire and bomb proof building which contains three pumps. Each pump can move 550 cubic metres of water per minute. The Lemstersluis which is often called Frisian sluice was completed on 10 November 1940 and is located next to the pumping house. The sluice can move ships up to 6 metres.
