Tabor (city)

Tabor

Tabor, Czech Republic, Russia, USA Czech Republic: spelt Tábor. Because some Celtic fortifications remained, the first Czech settlement was called Hradištĕ ‘Fortified Settlement’. It was burnt in 1277, but was re‐established in the 14th century and called Hradištĕ Ústské ‘Fortified Settlement of Sezimovo Ústí’, a neighbouring village. In 1420 this village was also burnt and its Hussite inhabitants moved to Hradištĕ Ústské which they renamed Hradištĕ Hory Tábor ‘Fortified Settlement of Mt Tabor’. In due course, the ‘Hradištĕ Hory’ was dropped. Tábor refers to the biblical Mt Tabor near Nazareth, Israel. It gave its name to the Taborites, a militant bunch of Hussite reformers. Tábor in Czech means a place where a large number of people gather.

Tábor

Tábor , city (1991 pop. 36,342), S central Czech Republic, in Bohemia. The city's economy relies on agricultural trade, tobacco, textiles, and the mining of kaolin. The city was founded in 1420 by John Žižka on a hill near the castle where John Huss had retired in 1412. Named after Mt. Tabor in Palestine, it became the stronghold of the Taborites, the extreme wing of the Hussites. Tábor retains the round tower of a 13th-century castle, many old houses, and a 16th-century town hall with a large collection of Hussite relics.
