  ## History
  
  The village was first mentioned in 944 as Gisleheim and means "settlement of the people of Gisilo". In 1840, Jislum was home to 118 people. The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1886 and is a replacement of a medieval church. The polder mill De Volharding was built in 1872. It was in service until 1955. In 1994, it was restored and since 2006, it performs as a backup to the pumping station.
