Neighboring towns are Bielice in the south and Goszów and Stary Gierałtów in the northwest.

history
Neugersdorf was laid out on royal land in 1581 by the chief forest master of the County of Glatz , Leonhard Verldhammer. It was initially referred to as Obergersdorf , the spelling Neugirßdorf is documented for 1631 . It belonged to the Landeck district and was owned by the Bohemian Chamber . After the Silesian Wars it fell to Prussia together with the County of Glatz in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was initially incorporated into the district of Glatz . In 1818 it was reorganized into the newly formed district of Habelschwerdt , to which it belonged until 1945. In 1874 the district of Gersdorf was formed, to which the rural communities Neugersdorf, Bielendorf , Gompersdorf , Mühlbach and Altgersdorf belonged. Due to its mountain location, Neugersdorf developed into a popular resort and winter sports destination from the beginning of the 19th century. In 1939 there were 422 inhabitants.
As a result of the Second World War , Neugersdorf fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was first renamed Nowy Miłobądz and then Nowy Gierałtów . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Many of them left Nowy Gierałtów again over the next few decades, leaving numerous houses and farmsteads to decay. In the 1990s, the population was less than a quarter of the population of 1939. 1975-1998 Nowy Gierałtów belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship .
