History

The beginnings of the municipality are in the 18th century. The name of the village stems from the former maple (Slovak: "javor") forests, after which some geographical objects were named (brook Javorinka, Javorová Valley and Javorový štít).

On November 1, 1938, after the Munich Agreement, Poland took control over the village. It was captured by the Slovaks in September of 1939 (see: Polish September Campaign) and it has been part of Slovakia ever since.
