The locality has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when a stronghold was established near Niemczyn, and in the 16th century, the name of the river Czarna appeared. In the 18th century, the village of Czarna obtained hunting rights, while until the 19th century, industry developed here, including sawmilling.

In 1962, the name was changed to Czarna Białostocka, and the town gained municipal rights.
