Husum was first mentioned as Husembro in 1252, when king Abel was murdered. Abel of Denmark (1218 – June 29, 1252) was Duke of Schleswig from 1232 to 1252 and King of Denmark from 1250 until his death in 1252
Like most towns at the North Sea, Husum was ever strongly influenced by storm tides. The North Sea is a marginal, Epeiric sea of the Atlantic Ocean on the European Continental shelf.
In 1362 a disastrous storm tide flooded the town and carved out the inland harbour. The (1st Grote Mandrenke Before this date Husum was not situated directly at the coast. The people of the city took advantage of this opportunity and built a marketplace, which led to a great economic upturn.
Between 1372 and 1398 the population of Husum grew rapidly, and two villages, Oster-Husum (East-Husum) and Wester-Husum (West-Husum), were founded.
The name Husum is first mentioned in 1409.
