History
Several neolithic and Hallstatt burial mounds, some of which contain grave goods, have been discovered in Niederried. During the Middle Ages Kallnach and Niederried formed a single lower court. In 1521-22 this lower court was added to the Landvogtei of Aarberg. In 1530 the two villages were combined into a single parish.
Niederried has always been a small farming village. Around 1910 the population doubled during the construction of the power plants at Kallnach, Niederried-Radelfingen and Aarberg as well as the creation of Niederried dam and the associated Niederried reservoir. Creation of the reservoir flooded a number of fields in the municipality and changed the village's borders. In 1974 a primary school was built in the village, but the upper primary and secondary school for the village is in Kallnach.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
