Geography

History

The first written mention of Slavičín is from 1141. For centuries, it was mostly an agricultural village where the craft did not flourish much. In 1860 a tannery was founded here, which was later expanded by a shoe factory. In 1936, an engineering company was established and Slavičín became an industrial village. After the World War II Slavičín further expanded, and in 1964 it became a town.[2]
