history
After flooding in the 17th century, the course of the Białka River changed and the village was separated from the rest of the Spiš. From 1528 it belonged to the Łaski family, from 1589/1595 to the Horváth family and later to the Protestant Stansith-Horváth family. Stanisław Staszic visited the village in 1805, and Teodor Tripplin in 1848 . In the 19th century Nowa Biała developed into a small town. Slovak became the language of the church and school at that time, but the local Gorals spoke Goral , a dialect of Polish origin that was always considered Slovak in the Hungarian censuses, unlike the Goral villages of the Arwa . A policy of Magyarization was later pursued.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the village became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia. As a result of the Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts in the Spiš area, the place was assigned to the Second Polish Republic in 1920. Between 1920 and 1925 he belonged to the powiat Spisko-Orawski , from July 1, 1925 to the powiat Nowotarski. In 1921 the community had 136 houses with 656 inhabitants, all of them Poles, 650 Roman Catholic, 6 Israelite.
From 1939 to 1945 the village became part of the Slovak State .
In the 1960s there was a dispute over the language of the Church between Poles and Slovaks. The building was then closed for 11 years.
From 1975 to 1998 Nowa Biała was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
In July 2008 the Białka changed its course again.
