Nové Město pod Smrkem is located in the north of Bohemia in Frýdlantský výběžek, not far from Frýdlant. The foundation of the town is closely connected with mining of tin and other metals in the surrounding area.

It was founded in 1584 by Melchior of Redern. The town was built according to a uniform plan, which is evidenced by its rectangular streets and squares.
