Tatranská Javorina (Polish: Jaworzyna Tatrzańska, Hungarian: Tátrajavorina, German: Uhrgarten) is a village in Poprad District in the Prešov Region of northern Slovakia.
Geography
The municipality lies at an altitude of 993 metres (3,258 ft)[3] and covers an area of 94.03 km2 (36.31 sq mi) (2024).[4] It is located in the Javorová Valley in the Tatra Mountains at the Polish-Slovak border.
History
The municipality started in the 18th century. Between 1918 and 1921, the Polish government attempted several times to annex the village. On November 1, 1938, following the Munich Agreement, Poland took control over the village. During the Slovak invasion of Poland, Slovak troops occupied the town, but transferred it to German occupation on September 29, 1939. It was annexed into the General Government on October 12, 1939, but was officially transferred to Slovakia on November 24, 1939. During the Slovak National Uprising, the town was occupied by German troops, but on January 1, 1945, it was occupied by Soviet troops. After the war, the town became part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, but due to the status of Czechoslovakia and Poland in the Warsaw Pact, the two countries only formally resolved disputes over the area on June 13, 1958, when an agreement was signed. Today, the town is part of independent Slovakia.
Etymology
The name of the village likely originates from the Slovak word javor (maple), due to the local maple forests.
