Location and geography

History

Austrian KK stamp issue 1859, cancelled NEUSTADT A(N DER) MET(TAU)

Jan Černčický of Kácov founded the town in 1501. It was destroyed by fire in 1526. Most of the houses on the square were then built after a uniform design in 1526–1548. The old town and its fortifications still retain their Renaissance style. Wallenstein purchased the town in 1623, then it passed to the Trčkas of Lípa and, following the assassination of both in 1634, to Walter Leslie.

Nové Město became the seat of a district after the administrative reform of the Austrian Empire in mid-19th century. A post office was opened in 1850. Textile mills were founded before the end of the century, followed after 1950 by a factory building construction machinery and a watch-making factory (PRIM). The industries and the entire town changed substantially after 1990.
