Nõva was first mentioned in 1402 as Neyve, the name is believed to originate from the same Finno-Ugric root which has given a name to Neva River.[1]

Nõva is home to wooden St. Olaf's church which was built somewhere in the 18th century. Educator and publisher Friedrich Brandt (1830–1890) served as a sacristan in Nõva in the 1870s.[1]

Swedish politician Ilmar Reepalu was born in Nõva in 1943.
