History

The first written mention of Bohdaneč is from 1233. In 1514, Bohdaneč was promoted to a market town by Vladislaus II of Hungary, but lost the title after World War II. Dvorecko was first mentioned in 1487 under name Víceměřič. Kotoučov was first mentioned in 1525 and Prostřední Ves and Řeplice in 1381.[2]

Šlechtín was a part of Prostřední Ves. In 1960, the municipalities of Dvorecko, Kotoučov, Prostřední Ves and Řeplice were merged with Bohdaneč.[2]
