Nieuw-Beerta (Dutch pronunciation: [niu ˈbeːrtaː]) is a village with a population of 120[1] in the municipality of Oldambt[4] in the east of the province of Groningen in the northeast of the Netherlands.
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute has a weather station in the village.
[6] Nieuw-Beerta is a road village which developed on the dike after the Uiterdijken were poldered in 1657.
[7] Nieuw Beerta was considered to be home to 753 people in 1840, but probably included a much larger area.
[8] The village used to have rich farmers, but following a decline in the late 19th century the contrast between the rich farmers and the poor farm workers caused a five-month long strike in 1929, and the region became a Communist stronghold.
