Nieuwendijk, Rural settlement in Hoeksche Waard, Netherlands.

Located along the Haringvliet waterway, Nieuwendijk consists of ten streets divided by the West-Binnenhaven canal, housing approximately 350 residents in 150 addresses.

The flood of 1953 severely damaged the settlement, leading Norway to provide 36 wooden houses as part of the reconstruction efforts in the following years.

The street names in Nieuwendijk reflect strong Norwegian connections, with roads named after notable figures like King Haakon and Henrik Ibsen, as well as cities like Oslo and Bergen.

The settlement connects to other parts of Hoeksche Waard through local roads, providing access to larger towns where residents can find essential services and amenities.

The West-Binnenhaven canal, locally known as het Scheidt, splits the village into two distinct areas with Norwegian-themed street names on both sides.
