Nieuw-Beerta (Dutch pronunciation: [niu ˈbeːrtaː]) is a village with a population of 120[1] in the municipality of Oldambt[4] in the east of the province of Groningen in the northeast of the Netherlands.

The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute has a weather station in the village.[5]

History

The village was first mentioned in 1660 as Beerter hamrick, and meant "the village dorp belonging to [the village of] Beerta". In 1822, it was first mentioned as Nieuw-Beerta (New Beerta) to distinguish it from Beerta.[6] Nieuw-Beerta is a road village which developed on the dike after the Uiterdijken were poldered in 1657.[7]

The first church was built in 1665, and rebuilt in 1689. The current church dates from 1856. Several villas and farms were built in Jugendstil.[7]

Nieuw Beerta was considered to be home to 753 people in 1840, but probably included a much larger area.[8] The village used to have rich farmers, but following a decline in the late 19th century the contrast between the rich farmers and the poor farm workers caused a five-month long strike in 1929, and the region became a Communist stronghold.[8]

Nieuw Beerta used to be part of the municipality of Beerta until 1990. Since 2010, it is part of the municipality of Oldambt.[8]
