The village was first mentioned in 1320 as Nieholtwolt, and means "new low-lying wood". Nije (new) has been added to distinguish from Oldeholtwolde.[4][5] The church of Nijeholtwolde was demolished around 1700. There were no funds to rebuild it, and a bell tower was constructed instead. The tower has been restored in 1982.[6]
In 1840, Nijeholtwolde was home to 225 people.[6]
