History

The settlement in area of what is now Nové Mitrovice started relatively late, probably in the 17th century. By 1626 a small hamlet called "Hutě" is mentioned here, consisting of merely 8 houses. The region around Nové Mitrovice was exploited for iron-ore and silver mining then. By 1708 the name of "Nové Mitrovice" is mentioned for the first time. The newly established village was owned by the family of Vratislavové z Mitrovic who further developed the mining and iron-processing industry, luring many immigrants (including those of German origin). In 1722-26 a chapel of St. Jan Nepomucký was built, in 1766 a new baroque church was consecrated. The economy of Nové Mitrovice gradually shifted from industry to crafts and agriculture (and services most recently). In the 20th century some of the neighboring villages came under the administration of Nové Mitrovice, namely Mítov, Nechanice and Planiny.
