[edit] History

The village was founded at the end of 13th century. In the 14th century Zbraslav monastery owned the village. After Hussite wars the village property was splitted to become a property of several placeholders (emperor, the town of Vysoké Mýto, nobility, etc.)[2]. The town of Vysoké Mýto owned the whole village between the end of 16th century to 1850. Then the village became autonomous.

[edit] Name

The name of the village probably originates in personal name Čban. One of the first reeves or inhabitants was called that. Later the village was called Čbánov and then Džbánov.
