Nieuw-Scheemda (also: Scheemderhamrik;[3] Gronings: Nij Scheemte) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen.
The village has grown together with 't Waar, however both are considered separate entities even though they share facilities.
[3] In 1597, a second dike was constructed which resulted in more than 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) of additional land to be cultivated.
It contains the Paaltjasker Nieuw-Scheemda, the only remaining tjasker in Groningen which was constructed in 1992 by the municipality Scheemda.
[6] Between 1910 until 1934, a railway line and train station was located in Nieuw-Scheemda, however only the coffee house has remained.
