Hladovka ( Hungarian Hladovka , Polish Głodówka ) is a municipality in the north of Slovakia with 1051 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019). It belongs to the Okres Tvrdošín , part of the Žilinský kraj .
geography
The municipality is located in the upper parts of the Oravská kotlina basin by the Jelešňa brook , near the Polish border. Extensive peat bogs stretch north of the abandoned railway line. The center of the village is located at an altitude of 756 m nm and is 11 kilometers from Trstená and 23 kilometers from Zakopane (PL).
history
Hladovka was founded around 1590 and was initially called Jelešnia , probably derived from the name of the brook. The Magyarized equivalent was Illésna (mentioned in 1598). Nevertheless, the name Hladovka was common among the local population , after the surname of the founder, a mayor named Krištof Hlad and not, as one would assume, after the Slovak term for hunger (Slov. Hlad ) or even hunger strike (Slov. Hladovka ).
The original inhabitants were employed in agriculture and linen weaving. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the place suffered during the Kuruzzenkriege and raids by robbers. In 1828 there were 128 houses and 732 inhabitants.
In the 19th century, Slovak became the language of the church and schools, but the local Gorals spoke Goral , a dialect of Polish descent. In 1897 Polish activists started national agitation. In 1910 the Hungarian administration followed the Polish request for the first time in the census and Goral was considered Polish. In that year the village had 535 inhabitants, 4 of them Hungarian-speaking, 2 German-speaking, 9 Slovak-speaking, 520 foreign-speaking (including 516 Polish-speaking, 96.4%), 533 Roman Catholic, 2 Protestant.
After the break-up of Austria-Hungary, the place in Arwa County became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia . In the years 1920–24 (then exchanged for the Czechoslovak part of the village Lipnica Wielka / Dolná Lipnica, Nižná Lipnica ) and 1938–39 Hladovka belonged to Poland (see also Czechoslovakian-Polish border conflicts , area no. 4). In the Polish census of 1921, the Głódówka community had 130 houses with 584 inhabitants, all of them Roman Catholic Poles.
