History
The village was first mentioned in 1496 as Nya Hascha, and has Nije (new) to distinguish from Oudehaske.[5] Haske is probably a type of grass.[6] Nijehaske is a northern settlement of Oudehaske, and was a 16th-century peat excavation project. The Dutch Reformed Church was built in 1775, but has been transferred to Heerenveen. In 1840, it was home to 1,105 people.[4]
Before 2014, Goingarijp was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Haskerland.[4]
