Etymology

The similarity with the Czech word džbán (i.e. "jug") is only coincidental. The name of the village probably originates in the personal name Čban that belonged to one of the first reeves or settlers. Later the village was called Čbánov and then Džbánov.[2]

Geography

Džbánov is located about 28 kilometres (17 mi) southeast of Pardubice. It lies in the Svitavy Uplands. The highest point is at 404 m (1,325 ft) above sea level.

History

Džbánov was founded in the mid-13th century. The first written mention of Džbánov is from 1292. In the 14th century, it was property of the Zbraslav Monastery. After the Hussite Wars, the village property was split between several placeholders (the emperor, the town of Vysoké Mýto, royal chamber, and the noble family of Kostka of Postupice). The town of Vysoké Mýto owned the whole village from the late 16th century to 1850. Afterwards the village became autonomous municipality.[2]

Sights

Džbánov is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a rural homestead No. 17 from the early 19th century.[3]
