The municipality was formed in 1969 from the formerly independent municipalities of Risum and Lindholm. Because it extends over several kilometres, the villages of Maasbüll (North Frisian: Moosbel, Danish: Masbøl), Risum (NF: Risem), Lindholm (NF: Lunham), Klockries (NF: Klookriis, Dan: Klokris), Wegacker (NF: Wäieeker) and Kremperhaus (Dan. Krempehus) (beside Broweg (NF: Bruwäi), Läiged, Legerade (NF: Läigeroos) and Herrenkoog (NF: Hiirnekuch, Dan: Herrekog[2][3]), which do not lie on the long village street) are of great importance for describing a location. In local usage, the actual municipal name is rarely used, but rather the name of the respective village.
