The area takes its name from an 18th century coaching inn, the "Two-Pot House Inn", which was (in turn) reputedly named for two large beer "pots" which were placed outside the inn. In the 19th century, when a newer Cork to Limerick road (now the N20) was built, a coaching stop was opened and it was named "New Two-Pot-House" to distinguish it from the coaching stop on the older road.
The local Roman Catholic church, St. Joseph the Worker church, is in the neighbouring townland of Twoposthouse (sometimes known as Old Twopothouse) and was built c. 1925. The national (primary) school in New Twopothouse, Baltydaniel National School, had 209 pupils enrolled as of 2019.
New Twopothouse was designated as a census town by the Central Statistics Office for the first time in the 2016 census, at which time it had a population of 120 people.
