Nová Bělá is a borough and municipal part of the city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. It is situated in the southern part of the city. Originally, it was a separate municipality, until it merged with Ostrava in 1941. In 1954, Nová Bělá separated from Ostrava and remained independent until 1 January 1975, when it became part of the city once again.[2] On 24 November 1990, it became one of the 23 self-governing boroughs of Ostrava.[3]

Etymology

[edit]

The name is derived from the Bělá Stream, which flows through the area.[4] The word bělá comes from the Czech adjective bílý, meaning 'white' – hence, the name refers to a 'white stream'.[5] The adjective nová (meaning 'new') was added to distinguish the municipality from its older neighbour, Stará Bělá.[6]
