==History==
The village arose after 1882 (1888 mentioned as ''Feketebalog'') by a merge of 13 villages (e.g. Balog, Krám, Dobroč, Dolina). Until 1920, it belonged to [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungary]], as part of [[Zólyom County]]. It played an important role during [[World War II]], as one of the centers of the anti-Nazi [[Slovak National Uprising]].
The first written record of the settlement in the area dates back to 1607 when the Emperor Rudolf II. issued a decree to regulate the growing timber industry in the region. Čierny Balog arose in 1888 through a merger of thirteen villages, i.e., Balog, Krám, Dobroč, Dolina, Fajtov, Jánošovka, Jergov, Komov, Látky, Medveďov, Pustô, Vydrovo, and Závodie. Until 1918, it belonged to [[Austria-Hungary]] as part of [[Zólyom County]] ({{Langx|sk|Zvolenská stolica/Zvolenská župa|links=https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zvolensk%C3%A1_%C5%BEupa_(Uhorsko)}}: [[:sk:Zvolenská_župa_(Uhorsko)|Zvolenská stolica]]). It played an important role during [[World War II]] as one of the centers of the anti-Fascist [[Slovak National uprising]]. By 2024 the largest village in the Banská Bystrica Region, it punches well above its weight due to the number of notable natives, as well as its cultural and natural heritage such as the [[Čierny Hron Railway]] and Dobroč Primeval Forest.

It played an important role during World War II as one of the centers of the anti-Fascist Slovak National uprising. By 2024 the largest village in the Banská Bystrica Region, it punches well above its weight due to the number of notable natives, as well as its cultural and natural heritage such as the Čierny Hron Railway and Dobroč Primeval Forest.
