History & geography

History

The village was first mentioned in 1773 as Nieuw Beierland, and is named after the polder which was created in 1582. Nieuw (new) has been added to distinguish from Oud-Beijerland. The centre of the village has a grid structure. The Dutch Reformed church is an aisleless church with needle tower built in 1826. The grist mill De Swaen was originally built in 1703, but rebuilt in 1932 after a fire. It was a separate municipality until 1984, when it became part of Korendijk. Korendijk was merged into the new municipality Hoeksche Waard in January 2019. On 27 August 2022 a lorry crashed into a barbeque killing 7 people.
