History
The first written record about Nováky was in 1113 as Nuovac. In 1942, during the reign of the Nazi puppet government of "Independent" Slovakia, nearby barracks were used for the assembly and detention of Slovak Jews from all over the country, pending their deportation to Nazi death camps in German-occupied Poland. The camp was guarded by the Slovak Hlinka Guard militia. Nováky has had town status since 1961.
