The village was first mentioned in 1320 as Oostbrocop, Westbrocop. It used to be two hamlets. Nije (new) was added to distinguish between Oldeberkoop. The etymology of -berkoop is unclear. Nijeberkoop developed in the 13th century as a linear settlement. In 1826, the church was demolished and only the bell tower remained. Nijeberkoop was home to 142 people in 1840.
