History

The first written mention of Hrdlív is from 1316. From the 15th century, Hrdlív was part of the Smečno estate, which belonged to the Martinic family (since 1792 Clam-Martinic).[2] After the abolition of feudalism in 1848, Hrdlív became part of Třebichovice municipality. In 1906, it became a separate municipality.[3]
