History edit
Nieuw-Dordrecht was established in 1856 to excavate the peat east of the Oranjekanaal by Drentsche Veen en Middenkanaal Maatschappij, a company based in Dordrecht.[3] In 1932, it was home to 832 people.[4] In the 1950s, the economy became based on the textile industry.[3]
In 2011, Museum Collectie Brands opened in Nieuw-Dordrecht. It contains the collection of Jan Brands who collected over 20,000 object and more than 50,000 books which covered his entire farm.[5]
