History
editThe village was first mentioned in 1289 as Niewenniedorp, and means "new new village". The extra Nieuwe (new) was added to distinguish from Oude Niedorp.[3] Nieuwe Niedorp developed in the Middle Ages as a peat excavation area.[4]
The Catholic Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church was built between 1905 and 1906 as part of a U-shaped Franciscan monastery.[4] The Dutch Reformed Fenix church from 1966, has a leaning church tower.[5]
Nieuwe Niedorp was home to 534 people in 1840.[5] It was a separate municipality until 1970, when it merged with Oude Niedorp and Winkel.[6] In 2012, it became part of the municipality of Hollands Kroon.[5]
