Historyedit
The first written mention of Bobrová is from 1252. From 1338, two settlements were distinguished, Dolní Bobrová and Horní Bobrová. Dolní Bobrová was a property of the Cistercian monastery in Žďár nad Sázavou and Horní Bobrová belonged to the Křižanov estate. Horní Bobrová was promoted to a market town before 1368; Dolní Bobrová was promoted to a market town in 1462. From 1464, Horní Bobrová was owned by the Pernštejn family, who sold it to the Cistercian monastery in 1486. The monastery owned both the market towns until its abolition in 1784. Then the estate was divided into several parts and sold to different owners.[2]
In 1950, Dolní Bobrová and Horní Bobrová were merged into one municipality named Bobrová.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
