To the east lies the Kyjovka valley . The Bukovany (355 m) rises to the north, the Nová hora to the south and the Lysé hory (355 m) to the southwest.

Neighboring towns are Haluzice in the north, Bohuslavice in the northeast, Moravany in the east, Kostelec , Boršov and Kyjov in the southeast, Svatobořice in the south, Sobůlky and Věteřov in the southwest, Ostrovánky in the west and Nechvalín in the northwest.

history

The first written mention of the village Budkouene took place on June 30, 1131 in a document from the Olomouc bishop Heinrich Zdik about the possession of the Benedictine monastery Hradisko . In the Opava Provincial Archives there is another, timely, document from Zdik about the takeover of a village Velké Bukovany or Bukowitz from Duke Wenceslaus I. In 1201, the village Bukovany was included in the ownership certificate of King Přemysl Ottokar I and Margrave Vladislav Heinrich listed for the Hradisko monastery.

Due to the ambiguity of the place name and the different spellings, some of the documents could not yet be assigned precisely. Gustav Friedrich assumed in the Codex diplomaticus et epistolaris regni Bohemiae II / 21 that Bukovany is meant in the document of June 30, 1131, in which, in addition to Budkouene , eleven other villages around Kyjov are mentioned. The historian Bohumil Zlámal took the view that the original name of the place was Bukoaus . Although the Provincial Archives in Opava showed little cooperation, it is now likely that the document there mentions Bukovany near Olomouc. It is still not clear which Bukovany is mentioned in the document from 1201. In addition to the ambiguous place names Tvrdoměřice, Bukovany, Valentiny, Žirákovice, Opatovice and Žiročice, the villages Tážaly, Náklo and Bohuňovice near Olomouc and another three near Opava are mentioned. Zlámal, who had been working on clarifying this question from 1982, died in 1984 during his research. Further research by the director of the Hodonín district archive, Jiří Mráka, also remained inconclusive in 1991.

The Hradisko monastery held Bukovany until after 1350. Then the property was passed on to various tenants. In 1539 the Búkovany monastery together with the town of Kyjov sold to the Moravian governor Jan Kuna von Kunstadt , who died a year later. The next owner was Jan Kropáč from Nevědomí. On January 22, 1548, Kyjov and Bukovany bought themselves free from their subjection. As a result, the formerly free Bukovany estate became subject to the royal city of Kyjov from 1548 to 1785 . Since 1553 the new postal connection led from Gaya to Brno via Bukovany. From 1561 to 1562 the stones for the construction of the town hall in Kyjov in the Skaly near Bukovany were broken, as well as from 1567 for the construction of the city gates. From 1581 the quarries in Bukovany and Vřesovice supplied the material for the construction of the Kyjov city fortifications. In 1605 the village was devastated by the invasion of the Transylvanian rebels under Stephan Bocskai . In 1623 Hungarian insurgents invaded Bukovany under Gábor Bethlen . In 1656 the village consisted of 37 properties, 28 of which were cultivated, eight were newly cultivated and one was desolate. It is believed that Bukonavy had about 144 residents at that time. In 1678 the village was sacked by the Kuruc and five years later by the Turks . After the town of Kyjov bought Kelčany in 1666 , the residents of Bukovany had to do their labor in the Kelčany vineyards. During the term of office of Kyjov Lord Mayor Daniel Polanský between 1693 and 1714 the compulsory labor was tightened. The residents of Bukovany refused to pay Polanský's taxes, which were increased from 30 to 45 guilders per year due to the poor quality of the soil, and the community and its residents brought a number of, albeit fruitless, complaints. In 1728 Bukovany's tax debt had risen to 750 guilders. The Lord Mayor Edmund Anton Wendorf let the land of his main adversary Petr Horáček move in and arrest him for a short time. By imposing flogging, Wendorf achieved that all debtors had paid their arrears by October 18, 1731. Horáček then became a beggar and died in 1741. After further petitions by the residents against the incorrect tax assessment, these were declared illegal on July 17, 1777. The remnants of the forests around Bukovany were cleared in 1740 to create pastureland for sheep breeding. In 1752 a mail collection point was set up in Gaya, which replaced the previous hereditary mail. In 1763, 325 people lived in the 72 houses in the village. After Emperor Joseph II had issued the patent on the repeal of serfdom on November 1, 1781, it took until June 28, 1785 before the magistrate of Gaya realized this. In 1834 Bukovany had 608 inhabitants. Bukovany remained subordinate to the city of Gaya until the middle of the 19th century.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Bukovany / Bukowann 1850 a municipality in the district administration Gaya . After the Okres Kyjov was abolished, the place was assigned to the Okres Hodonín in 1960. In 1961 the village reached the highest population in its history with 893 inhabitants. Between 1980 and 1990 Nechvalín was incorporated. Bukovany has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2004.
