The name of today's municipality was first mentioned in a document in 1011 under the Latin name Nova-villa . In the Middle Ages Neuville-lès-Vaucouleurs was within the Champagne region and belonged to the Bailliage Chaumont. From 1766 until the French Revolution , the community was in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . Neuville-lès-Vaucouleurs belonged to the Gondrecourt district from 1793 to 1801.
