It has about 300 inhabitants.
Administrative division
Nová Sídla consists of two municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
- Nová Sídla (191)
- Sedlíšťka (47)
Etymology
The name Nová Sídla literally translates from Czech as 'new settlements'.
Geography
Nová Sídla is located about 21 km northwest of Svitavy and 36 km southeast of Pardubice. It lies in the Svitavy Uplands. The highest point is a flat nameless hill at 339 m above sea level. The Desná Stream flows along the northern municipal border and then joins the Loučná River just outside the territory of Nová Sídla.
History
Archeological finds suggest the area of the current municipality was first settled in the Middle Ages. Ancient and prehistoric artifacts were also reported to be found in the area. Nová Sídla was founded in 1786 by Count Jiří Kristián of Valdštejn. After the abolition of serfdom in 1848, Nová Sídla became a municipal part of Morašice. In 1892, Nová Sídla and Sedlíšťka separated from Morašice and created a new municipality called Sedlíšťka-Nová Sídla. In 1982, the municipality was renamed Nová Sídla.
