History
Archaeological 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.[3] 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.[4]
