History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in 1711 as Midde en Nieuwolda, and means "new woods". Nieuw (new) was added to distinguish between Midwolda.[4] Nieuwolda is a road village which developed as a satellite of Midwolda after the Dollart dike was constructed in 1545.[5]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1718 and a tower was added in 1765.[5] The weather vane is a mermaid as a reference to the reclaimed land from the Dollart.[6] The pumping station De Hoogte was constructed in 1892 and was powered by a steam engine. In 1920, it was converted to an electric engine. It became obsolete in 1976. It has been restored and in use as a museum.[6]

Nieuwolda was home to 1,315 people in 1840.[6] It was a separate municipality until 1990, when it was merged with Scheemda. In 2010, it became part of Oldambt.[6]
