History
The village was first mentioned in 1958 as Nij-Altoenae. Nij (new) was added to distinguish between Altoenae. Altoenae was the former name of Sint Annaparochie which was named after the estate Altena [nl] near Delft, the neighbourhood where Dirk Oem van Wijngaarden, one of the first settlers, grew up.[4] The village used to be call 't Wegje and had the status of a hamlet.[5]
The Reformed Church was built in 1918. In 1928, a new church was built in a different location. The old church was sold, and is nowadays used as a shed. The new church was renovated in 2012.[5]
In 2006, Nij Altoenae became a village. Until 2018, the village was part of het Bildt municipality.[5]
