history
Gablona was first mentioned in a document in 1304 as the property of the Zbraslav monastery . Wenceslas II had previously given the place to the Witigonen Zawisch von Falkenstein and, after his execution, donated it to the Zbraslav Monastery. An older mention, according to which the place is said to have been a market village as early as 1093, cannot be proven. The use of a city seal has been documented since 1358.
After the destruction of the monastery in 1420 by the Hussites , Wilhelm Kostka von Postupitz took possession of the place. From 1508 the Jablonné market belonged to the Pernsteiners and later to the Herzan von Harras . After the battle of the White Mountain , Charles I of Liechtenstein acquired Jablonné. Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848, Jablonné remained as a submissive town in the possession of the Liechtensteiners , who also held the goods until 1918. In 1850 Jablonné consisted of 139 houses and had 735 inhabitants.
During the German War , the city defended itself against the Prussians and ultimately had to pay a high protection fee. In 1874 Jablonné received a railway connection. Four years later, citizens set up an advance fund for the construction of a waterworks. In the second half of the 19th century, several factories were set up producing brushes, glue, wooden goods, buttons and liturgical vestments. During this time, the Benátky district was created on Orličkovský potok. In 1900 there were 1248 people in Jablonné. In 1906, Emperor Franz Joseph I made Jablonné a town. According to the Munich Agreement , the border with the Reichsgau Sudetenland was drawn right next to the city, which at that time had a German population of one percent and remained with Czechoslovakia . The historic city center has been a municipal monument protection area since 1977.
