Nieuwendijk is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is a part of the municipality of Altena, and lies about 8 km south of Gorinchem.

History[edit]

The village was first mentioned in 1468 as Nyewendijck, and means "new dike". Nieuw (new) has been added to distinguish from Oudendijk [nl].[3] Nieuwendijk was a village of dike workers and reed cutters, and could only be reached by water.[4]

Nieuwendijk was home to 219 people in 1840. In 1970, the Haringvliet was closed off and the reed disappeared.[4]

Notable people[edit]

Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, poet, novelist, and co-winner of the 2020 International Booker Prize, grew up by the River Bakkerskil in Nieuwendijk.[5]
