Nová Bělá is a borough and municipal district of the city of Ostrava, Czech Republic, situated in the southern part of the city. Originally, it was a separate village, 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
The name is derived from the creek Bělá, which flows through the area.[4] The word bělá comes from the Czech adjective bílý, meaning white – hence, the name refers to a “white creek”.[5] The adjective nová (feminine form of nový), which means new, was added to distinguish the municipality from its older neighbor, Stará Bělá.[6][7]
