Geography

Brod–Logatec is located along both sides of the Logaščica River in the western part of Logatec. Blekova Vas lies to the west, and Čevica and Dolenji Logatec to the east. The soil is gravelly, and the land is subject to flooding during heavy rains.[1][3]

Name

The name Brod means 'ford' and refers to a location where it was easy to cross the Logaščica River. The name of the village was changed from Brod to Brod–Logatec in 1955.[4]

History

Together with neighboring Gorenji Logatec, Brod was destroyed by a fire on August 8, 1876.[5] Brod had a population of 160 (in 23 houses) in 1880,[6] and 149 (in 24 houses) in 1900.[7] Brod–Logatec was annexed by Logatec in 1972, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[2][4]
