The area takes its name from an 18th century coaching inn, the "Two-Pot House Inn", which was (in turn) reputedly named for two large beer "pots" which were placed outside the inn.[4] In the 19th century, when a newer Cork to Limerick road (now the N20) was built, a coaching stop was opened and it was named "New Two-Pot-House" to distinguish it from the coaching stop on the older road.[5][6]

The local Roman Catholic church, St. Joseph the Worker church, is in the neighbouring townland of Twoposthouse (sometimes known as Old Twopothouse) and was built c. 1925.[7] The national (primary) school in New Twopothouse, Baltydaniel National School, had 209 pupils enrolled as of 2019.[8]

New Twopothouse was designated as a census town by the Central Statistics Office for the first time in the 2016 census,[3] at which time it had a population of 120 people.[1]
