history
The first documentary mention of the village, which was founded as a charcoal settlement, dates back to 1601. Later, mining formed the economic basis for the inhabitants of the place. After its decline, the cotton spinning mill moved into Schwaderbach with numerous house weavers. An economic boom after 1870 let the number of inhabitants increase. Many of them found employment in the manufacture of musical instruments in Graslitz or in neighboring Klingenthal. With the beginning of the twentieth century tourism developed. Winter sports in particular attracted numerous visitors. The village, which had previously belonged to Graslitz, received a new church in 1883, but was not parished out by Graslitz until 1908.
After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the Graslitz district .
The population decreased drastically due to the expulsion of the German population after the end of the Second World War.

economy
Bublava is best known today for its ski and snowboard area on the Olověný vrch (lead mountain).
In 1999 the municipality commissioned the establishment of a leisure center called "Aquapark". Construction began, but was never completed due to the suspension of state subsidy payments. Today the property stands as an investment ruin in the village and causes Bublava great financial problems because of open demands from the construction company.
