We report the discovery of 19 variable stars and two blue stragglers in the field of the open cluster NGC 6866. Three of the variable stars we classify as δ Sct, two as γ Dor, four as W UMa, two as ellipsoidal variables, and one as an eclipsing binary. Seven stars show irregular variability. Two of the pulsators, δ Sct star NGC 6866-29 and γ Dor star NGC 6866-21, are multiperiodic. From an analysis of proper motions, we conclude that the δ Sct stars, one of the γ Dor stars and both blue stragglers are very probable members of the cluster. The position on the color-magnitude diagram of seven other variables suggests that they also belong to the cluster. The eclipsing binary, which we discover to be a new high velocity star, and the seven irregular variables are non-members. We discuss in detail the age and metallicity of open clusters that host γ Dor stars and we show that none of these parameters is correlated with the number of γ Dor stars in cluster.
