Bohdalín is a municipality and village in Pelhřimov District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 200 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name Bohdalín is derived from the surname Bohdal. The village was founded on a field that belonged to Bohdal and initially was called Bohdalovo pole (literally 'Bohdal's field'), but the name was soon abbreviated to its present form.[2]
Geography
Bohdalín is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of Pelhřimov and 42 km (26 mi) west of Jihlava. It lies in the Křemešník Highlands. The highest point is at 647 m (2,123 ft) above sea level. The stream Bohdalínský potok flows through the municipality and supplies here a set of small fishponds.
History
The first mention of Bohdalín is in the land register of the Rosenberg family from 1379. In 1610, Bohdalín was acquired by Václav Vencelík of Vrchoviště, but his properties were confiscated in 1620 as a result of the Battle of White Mountain. Bohdalín belonged to the estate that was purchased by foreign nobleman Jindřich Paradys of Eskaide in 1623. After the death of Jindřich Paradys, the estate was divided and Bohdalín became a part of the Černovice estate, which was inherited by the Talmberk family. In 1680, the village was hit by a plague epidemic.[3]
