The village was first mentioned in 1399 as Nyeholepat, and means "new low-lying path". Nije (new) has been added to distinguish from Oldeholtpade.[4][5] The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1525, and has a bell tower. The church was a replacement of a wooden church.[6]
Nijeholtpade was home to 150 people in 1840.[6]
