The village was first mentioned in 1412 as Nyegae, and means "new village". Nije (new) has been added to distinguish from Oudega.[4] The Dutch Reformed church dates from at least 1381, and has been modified in 1850, and partially rebuilt in 1894.[5][6]

Nijega was home to 165 people in 1840.[5] The former elementary school was used as the village centre, however the building was in poor share. In 2003, a village centre opened next door to the Kommissiehuys.[5]
