Etymology
The town was originally called Gablona, which was probably a term for a customhouse, where charges were levied for transported salt.[2]
Geography
Jablonné nad Orlicí is located about 15 kilometres (9 mi) northeast of Ústí nad Orlicí and 57 km (35 mi) east of Pardubice. It lies mostly in the Orlické Foothills, but the eastern elongated part of the municipal territory extends into the Orlické Mountains. The highest point is at 586 m (1,923 ft) above sea level. The Tichá Orlice river flows through the municipality.
History
The first written mention of Jablonné is from 1304 as Gablona. It was founded in the second half of the 13th century, probably in 1285, when the Lanšperk estate was donated to Záviš of Falkenstein by King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia.[2]
In the first half of the 14th century Jablonné belonged to Zbraslav Monastery. From 1409 to 1453 Jablonné formed a small separate estate. In 1453, it was acquired by the Kostka of Postupice family and merged again with Lanšperk estate. In 1507, Jablonné was bought by the Pernštejn family and in 1508, it was promoted to a market town.[2]
In 1588, Jablonné was acquired by the Hřán family, and sold to Prince Karl I of Liechtenstein in 1622. His descendants held possession of Jablonné until 1918. In 1874, the railway was built, which started the economical development of the market town. In 1906, Jablonné was promoted to a town.[2]
