Oosternieland is a village in the municipality of Het Hogeland, Groningen, the Netherlands. It is located just north of Zijldijk, along the N46 road between the city of Groningen and the Eemshaven seaport. It had a population of around 100 in January 2017.
==History== The village was first mentioned in 1448 as "Enghelbert up den Nyen lande", and means "eastern new land". Oost (east) has been added to distinguish from Westernieland. The land was reclaimed after a dike was built in 1317. The village has a terp (artificial living hill) which contains a church from the 13th century. It used to have a tower, but it was demolished in 1822, and a ridge turret was place on the church instead.
