Municipal part of Vyškov in South Moravian Region, Czech Republic

Hamiltony is a village and municipal part of Vyškov, a town in Vyškov District of the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 370 inhabitants.^[1]

It is located in a narrow valley of the Haná river, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northwest of Vyškov and 28 kilometres (17 mi) from Brno.

History

Hamiltony was named after the Maximilian Reichsgraf von Hamilton, prince-bishop of Olomouc from 1761 to 1776, under whom the village was founded. Its original name was Hamiltonky until 1784.^[2]

In the mid-19th century, the village was known as Hamilton, which later changed to the current name Hamiltony. Hamiltony, like Pazderna, was a settlement of the town of Dědice. In 1941, it became a part of Vyškov. After the separation in 1945, it was a municipality until 1949, when it again became a part of Vyškov.^{[citation needed]}
