Nijehaske is a village in De Fryske Marren municipality, west of Heerenveen in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 55 in 2017. ^[3] In 1934, most of Nijehaske was transferred to Heerenveen and has become a neighbourhood. ^[4]

History

The village was first mentioned in 1496 as Nya Hascha, and has Nije (new) to distinguish from Oudehaske. ^[5] Haske is probably a type of grass. ^[6] Nijehaske is a northern settlement of Oudehaske, and was a 16th-century peat excavation project. The Dutch Reformed Church was built in 1775, but has been transferred to Heerenveen. In 1840, it was home to 1,105 people. ^[4]

Before 2014, Goingarijp was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Haskerland. ^[4]
