History

The village was first mentioned in 1448 as "Enghelbert up den Nyen lande", and means "eastern new land". Oost (east) has been added to distinguish from Westernieland. The land was reclaimed after a dike was built in 1317. [4] The village has a terp (artificial living hill) which contains a church from the 13th century. It used to have a tower, but it was demolished in 1822, and a ridge turret was place on the church instead. [5]

Oosternieland was home to 308 people in 1840. It was part of Uithuizermeeden municipality before 1979, when it became part of Hefshuizen. In 2019, it became part of the municipality of Het Hogeland. [5]
