Nieuw-Milligen is a hamlet in the municipality of Apeldoorn in the province of Gelderland, the Netherlands. Nieuw-Milligen is best known for Air Operations Control Station Nieuw-Milligen, a military air traffic control centre in the Netherlands. The base started out as a small military airfield in 1913 and remained in use as such until 1940, when it was destroyed by the Dutch military to prevent it from being used by the Germans.[3] It is also home to a Landal Greenparks holiday village.
It was first mentioned in 1849 as Nieuw Milligen to differentiate from Millingen which has become Oud-Milligen. The name means "settlement of people of Milo (person)".[4]
