history
The first mention of the village Dragnik took place on September 13, 1208 together with other villages in the area in a document of the Olomouc bishop Robert of England as the property of the Štěpán of Medlov . This document about an exchange of territory with the Diocese of Olomouc has proven to be a subsequent falsification . Further written mentions of the place were made in 1237 as Drahonice , 1240 as Drahnice and 1259 as Drahnisch . In 1353 the place was first referred to as Drahonin . The owners of the village were the Vojna of Litava in the 15th century and the lords of Pernstein in the 16th century . With the decline of the latter family, Drahonin including the mill, sawmill and brewery was sold to the Porta Coeli monastery in 1593 . Until the abolition of the monastery in 1782, Drahonin remained monastic property. In 1793 the village consisted of 27 houses and had 209 inhabitants.
After the abolition of patrimonial Drahonín formed from 1850 a municipality in the Brno district and judicial district of Tischnowitz . In 1890 305 people lived in the 41 houses of the community. Since then, the population has fallen sharply. Since 1896 the community belonged to the newly formed district of Tischnowitz. At the beginning of the 20th century, František Šafránek had a chromite mine built. In 1930 the village had grown to 51 houses and had 275 inhabitants. In the 1950s, a uranium ore deposit was discovered and developed north of the village . After the dissolution of the Okres Tišnov, the municipality came to the Okres Žďár nad Sázavou at the beginning of 1961 . In 1976 Drahonín was incorporated into Olší . Uranium mining ended in 1989 and recultivation began in 1991. In 1980 Drahonín had 142 inhabitants. In 1990 Drahonín was re-established. Since the beginning of 2005 it has belonged to the Okres Brno-venkov .
