history
According to the historian Václav Vladivoj Tomek , the battlefield between the Bohemian army and the Poles under Bolesław I was located near Boháňka in 1000 .
The original location of the village Voháňka is said to have been north in the valley at the place of the wasteland Maňovice. According to ancient traditions, the village is said to have been extinguished by the plague. Some of the residents who had fled the village into the woods did not return to the old village, but settled on the ridge where the settlement Boháňová Lhota or Boháňová Hora arose.
The first written mention of Boháňová Lhota and Maňovice was in 1378 in connection with the erection of an altar for St. Catherine in the church of Velký Vřešťov . Boháňka was part of the Velký Vřešťov domain.
