history
The place was first mentioned in writing in 1323 as Dubova . The adjective Valaská (or in Hungarian Oláh ) is reminiscent of the Wallachian colonization of the area from the 14th to the 17th century. For this reason, the inhabitants mostly worked as shepherds. Initially, the place belonged to the estate of the Likava Castle and was therefore in Liptov County , in 1556 ownership changed to Arwa Castle and Lage to Arwa County .
A brick church was built in 1750 and expanded in 1815. In 1828 there are 99 houses and 743 inhabitants.
Until 1918 the place belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. In 1935, 121 houses and two water mills fell victim to a major fire. After a change of district in 1941 Valaská Dubová came back to Liptov, as part of the Ružomberok Okres.
