Spi�sk� Nov� Ves is the cultural, administrative and business center
of the Spi� region. The town arose on the West-East Trade Route from the
villages of Iglov and of Villa Nova. The first written reference to the
town is from the year 1268. The town was a member of the Spi� Sasi Community
and it was for 360 years in a pledge by the Polish King. It was the seat
of the province of the 16 Spi� Towns and an important industrial and business
center as well as the center of crafts (esp. church bells were produced
here), the mining and metallurgical industry.
