Karel Havlícek Borovský (31 October 1821 - 29 July 1856) was a Czech writer, poet, critic, politician, journalist, and publisher. He lived and studied at the Gymnasium in Nemecký Brod (today Havlíckuv Brod), and his house on the main square is today the Havlícek Museum. In 1838 he moved to Prague to study philosophy at Charles University and, influenced by the revolutionary atmosphere before the 1848, decided on the objective of becoming a patriotic writer. He devoted himself to studying Czech and literature.
The first record of Napajedla, known as "Oppidum Nappaidl" comes from 1355. A decade later, this place was already known as a townlet. Its strategic location made it vulnerable to advancing foreign armies.
