History
The village was first mentioned in 1206 or 1207 as Bonne. It could either mean "settlement of Bunne (person) or "settlement on a height".[3] Bunne developed as an esdorp. There used to be a small nun monastery in the village called "Het Huys van Bunne".[4]
Bunne was home to 110 people in 1840. In 1896, a cooperative dairy factory opened in the village. It closed in 1968, and was converted into a metal construction company in 1971. The chimney was demolished in 1980.[4]
