Holubov is located in the Bohemian Forest Foothills. The whole municipality lies in the Blanský les Protected Landscape Area. The eastern border of the municipal territory is formed by the Vltava river. In the centre of Holubov there is Holubovský pond, used for leisure activities.
The Celts lived in the area from about 200–400 BC, and in about 60 BC they founded an oppidum in Třísov. they left the place in around 60 BC being pushed out from here by migrating Marcomanni tribe. Between 4th and 7th century, the Slavic tribes settled here.[2]
The first written mentions of Holubov and Třísov are from 1379, the first mention of Krasetín is from 1372. The area was owned by Vítkovci and then by the Rosenberg family as a part of the Dívčí kámen Castle estate. In 1383, a manor house called Holubův is documented here, and it probably gave the name to the village.[2]
In the 19th century started industrialization of Holubov. From 1841 to 1874, an iron-producing factory was here. In 1891, the railway to České Budějovice and Volary was built.[2]
