History: 

Neu-Norka was officially founded in 1852 along the Ilovlya River although there had been colonists living there as early as 1847. All of the original settlers were from the colony of Norka.

In 1877, 2 families left for America, and in 1886 an additional 5 families were issued passports to emigrate.

Today, nothing remains of the former colony of Neu-Norka.

Church: 

The Lutheran congregation in Neu-Norka belonged to the parish of Rosenberg. A prayerhouse (Bethaus) was built there in 1890.
