According to the legend of Nieuwkoop, the place was founded when a group of gypsies passed through in the twelfth century and got a broken wagon wheel, after which they decided to settle there permanently. This wagon wheel was later incorporated into the Coat of Arms of Nieuwkoop. However, the first inhabitants of Nieuwkoop were not gypsies, but people who settled there for peat extraction. From this peat extraction, a body of water was created on both sides of the dike, one of which was drained, and the other has turned into a nature reserve now known as the Nieuwkoopse Plassen.
