History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The first written mention of is from 1471, when the village Arnsdorff (Arnultovice) was founded, today a part of Nový Bor. In 1692, a new settlement was founded, and its construction was completed in 1703. The settlement was originally connected by mayor's law with Arnultovice,[1] but it became separate in 1713.

In 1710, it became a property of the Kinsky noble family, and under their rule the settlement grew. At their request, the settlement was promoted to a town in 1757. Since the end of the 18th century Nový Bor became known for its large glass industry (as happened in the whole region).[1] In 1869, the railroad was built.[2]

During the 19th and 20th centuries, several villages were merged with Nový Bor, as the last Arnultovice in 1924.[1]

From 1938 to 1945 it was one of the municipalities in Sudetenland. In 1948, it was renamed from the German to its current Czech name.
