history
Bystrá was first mentioned in writing in 1563 as Wistra and was built on the area of Horná Lehota at that time. The settlement was located around some gold and silver mines (16th and 17th centuries), and the residents were also employed as lumberjacks and charcoal burners. In the 18th and 19th centuries there was a hammer mill here that processed pig iron from the area around Hronec , Pohronská Polhora and Tisovec . In 1828 there were 23 houses and 199 inhabitants. In the late 19th century the inhabitants worked almost exclusively in the Podbrezová ironworks ; In 1896 the community became independent.
Until 1918 the place in Sohl County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or today Slovakia.
From 1960 to 1990 Bystrá was part of the Mýto pod Ďumbierom municipality .
