Nyelandsvej was established in 1883-84 and received its name on 17 April 1884. It is named for Stephan Peter Nyeland (1793-1875), provisionmaster (proviantforvalter) at the Naval Administration (Søetaten), who from 1837 to 1875 owned a country estate on Falkonér Allé on which part of Nyelandsvej, Langelandsvej and Bentzonsvej were built.[1]
Københavns Mælkeforsyning ("Copenhagen's Milk Supply"), whose name was later changed to Solbjerg Majeri (Solbjerg Dairy), opened on the street at No. 25 in 1884. Its old buildings were replaced by new ones in the 1920s and it developed into one of the largest employers in Frederiksberg. It had direct access to Frederiksberg Station's goods yard. The dairy closed in the mid-1970s.[2]

The buildings became part of Frederiksberg Hospital when Copenhagen County Hospital completed its move to Gentofte in 1939.Frederiksberg Incineration Plant opened on the other side of the street in 1903.[3]
