history
When exactly the place was founded is not certain. It is believed that a permanent settlement was established in 1862, the year the Warsaw-Petersburg Railway was established here. The name at that time was Czarna Wies (Black Village). But people probably already settled here before. Due to the location in a clearing in the middle of a large forest area, the timber industry slowly developed. The development progressed faster after the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, when the area came under Prussian rule. In order to use the wood stocks of the forests, the wood industry was strengthened and numerous sawmills were built. At the same time as the economy grew, so did the number of residents. In the course of the First World War , all sawmills in the place were destroyed. It was not until 1921 that the wood industry began to settle again in Czarna Wies. The first school was also built between the two world wars. During the Second World War , the place was occupied by the Soviet Union , according to the Hitler-Stalin Pact . In 1941 the Wehrmacht occupied the village. On July 29, 1941, the Red Army invaded the village again. With the end of the war, Czarna Białostocka became part of Poland. In 1962 the place received city rights and was given its current name Czarna Białostocka. During an administrative reform of the People's Republic of Poland, the city became part of the reorganized Białystok Voivodeship in 1975 . Since its dissolution, the city has been part of the Podlaskie Voivodeship since 1999.
