History
Radonín was first mentioned in 1353 as a forest located behind Žďár. The forest was under the administration of the Žďár Monastery. At the beginning of the 15th century, a mill called Hamrmýl (lit. 'hammer mill') was established here. In the 16th century, a fishpond was built near the mill.[2]
In 1788, the mill area was parcelled into the village Hamrmýl, which was later renamed to Radonín.[2][3]
