Nieuwerkerken is a village in the Belgian province of East Flanders and is a submunicipality of Aalst. It was an independent municipality until the municipal reorganization of 1977. Baardegem is located in the Denderstreek and has 6249 inhabitants. [1]
Nieuwerkerken was mentioned in 1139 as Nova Ecclesia. During the Ancien Régime, the largest part of the municipality was dependent on the lordship Attenhoven, a fief of the Saint-Lambertus chapter in Liège. [1]
