History
The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Hoerne cum duabus capellis, and means "the new corner of the river". Nieuw (new) has been added to distinguish from Oudehorne.[2] The village developed at an intersection of roads. The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1778 and was restored around 1850.[3] In 1840, Nieuwehorne was home to 293 people.[4]
On the night of 13 to 14 September 1942, an Avro Lancaster of the Royal Air Force carrying a crew of 7 crashed near Nieuwehorne. The crew is buried on the local cemetery and in 1992, a monument was revealed.[5]
Before 1934, Nieuwehorne was part of the Schoterland municipality.[4]
