For the first time, however, he was not mentioned in writing as Jaraba until 1540 . As early as the 15th century there were three smelters in the village, until the 17th century gold and silver were mainly mined, after which iron ore mines were mostly active. Until 1546 the mines belonged to the merchants of Neusohl , after which they came into the Aryan possession. Due to the development of industry (blast furnaces) around Hronec and the relative remoteness of important traffic routes, mining came to an end in the 19th century; In 1828 there were 16 houses and 136 inhabitants, who first worked in the local mines, after which they were gradually closed as foresters and workers in the surrounding industrial plants.
