Suchá Hora (literally: dry mountain; Hungarian Szuchahora , Polish Sucha Góra Orawska ) is a municipality in northern Slovakia .
location
The municipality is located in the Oravská kotlina , a few kilometers north of the Tatra Mountains and is located directly on the Slovak-Polish border, which is 1 km east of the center. The Slovak city of Trstená is 13 km to the west, the Polish city of Zakopane 20 km to the southeast.
history
Originally inhabited by Wallachians , it was founded by Thurzos in 1561 and mentioned as Ztarahora . The current name was mentioned at the end of the 16th century.
In the 19th century, Slovak became the language of the church and schools, but the local Gorals still speak Goral , a dialect of Polish origin. 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 683 inhabitants, including 13 Hungarian-speaking, 3 German-speaking, 36 Slovak-speaking, 631 foreign-language (Polish-speaking, 92.4%), 670 Roman Catholic, 12 Israelite.
After the collapse of Austria-Hungary after the First World War, the citizenship of the place was disputed between the newly formed Czechoslovakia and Poland . From July 20, 1920 to June 3, 1924 (exchanged for the Czechoslovak part of the village Lipnica Wielka / Dolná Lipnica, Nižná Lipnica ) and then again in the period from autumn 1938 to autumn 1939, the place belonged to Poland (see also Czechoslovak-Polish Border Conflicts , Area No. 4). In the Polish census of 1921, the community of Głódówka had 178 houses with 636 inhabitants, 610 of them Poles, 26 of other nationalities (mostly Slovaks), 627 Roman Catholic, 9 Israelite.
