History

The name refers to a new windmill which was built at the site. The hamlet was located close to the old village og Vassingerød. The new, private Copenahgen-Slangerup Railway had a station in Vassingerød when in opened in 1906 but the station closed when the section from Farum to Slangerup was decommissioned in 1954.[2]

The extraction of natural resources, gravel and chalk, has played an important role in the local economy[3] but the Vassingerød-Nymølle area has always been sparsely populated and has locally been referred to as "Sibiria". In 1993, a plan was launched for the conversion of a former gravel pit at Nymølle into a recreational area.[4]

The population of Vassingerød passed under 200, making it disappear from Statistics Denmark's official statistics of "urban areas" (byområder) in Denmark.[2] In 2009, Nymølle's population passed 200 for the first time. As of 1 January 2020, Nymølle had a population of 350.
