The village was first mentioned in the late-11th century as Bachem, and means "settlement on a height".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/bakkum |title=Bakkum - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=27 April 2022 |language=nl}}</ref> Bakkum used to be a ''[[heerlijkheid]]''. In 1749, it was sold to [[Nicolaas Geelvinck]] who was Lord of Castricum among others.<ref name="monument">{{cite news|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu11_01/sten009monu11_01_0028.php |title=Bakkum |author=Ronald Stenvert & Saskia van Ginkel-Meester |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |year=2006 |language=nl |access-date=27 April 2022}}</ref>
In 2001, the town of Bakkum had around 2680 inhabitants. <ref name="CBS2">Statistics Netherlands (CBS), ''Gemeente Op Maat 2004: Castricum'' [http://www.cbs.nl/nl-NL/menu/themas/nederland-regionaal/nederland-regionaal/publicaties/gemeente-op-maat/2004/alfabet/C/2004-castricum.htm].</ref> This includes the neighbourhood of Bakkum-Noord (550 inhabitants), which is sometimes seen as a separate village.

After World War II, it started to form a single urban area with Castricum.<ref name="monument"/>
