Late 19th Century and Early C20th

During the second half of the 19th Century, Dolny Kubin was still quite a small town. The main reason for this was the frequent migration and emigrations of the people from the Orava region in order to find a job.

At this time, most of the population in Dolny Kubin were either of Hungarian, German or Slovak nationality. Also a substantial part of the population were Jews who made up a large percentage of the German nationality.

Gradually the industry improved in the region, and in the town there was a brewery and the production of scnapps. Other important enterprises included the printing plant, the bookbinding plant and the stationers. Also the Turkish baths offered their service to people.

Also, the financial center in Dolny Kubin started to awake in the second half of the 19th century, when the financial institute known as "Saving and subsidiary union" was founded. Later the branches of the Tatra Bank, Vzajomna pomocnica and others were also placed here.
