In 1848 the house of Pribis lost ownership of the land when they fought with Lajos Kossuth during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848–1849. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Pribiš was part of Árva County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic.
