History
According to archaeological finds, there was an old Slavic settlement, existing from the first half of the 11th century. The first written mention of Dubá and Lords of Dubá is from 1253. The Berka of Dubá family owned the town until 1622. After the Battle of White Mountain, their properties were confiscated and Dubá was acquired by Albrecht von Wallenstein. After that, the owners of Dubá often changed.[3]
Because of large fires in 1692, 1711 and 1845, Dubá never became a big town.[3][4]
Until 1918, the town was part of Austria-Hungary, head of the Dubá – Dauba district, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[5] From 1938 to 1945, it was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as a part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. After World War II, the German population was expelled.
