Zuberec was founded in 1593, when the village was known as Zwberczyc, by
shepherds and farmers under Vlach colonization law Lex Antiqua Valachorum. It
was subordinate, like the surrounding villages, to the Orava Castle. The
village ceased to exist because of the Bocskay uprising, but it was later
re-colonized. In 1683 it was devastated by the soldiers of the
Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
