The name Stari Dvor literally means 'old manor'. Dvor is a relatively common toponym in Slovenia and, in addition to 'manor', may also refer to a farm with outbuildings, an estate, a (fenced-in) courtyard, or a barnyard, as well as a medieval agricultural estate comprising up to 40 farms.[4] The name refers to a manor belonging to the Dominion of Loka that stood in the area in the 11th century. No trace of the manor remains today.[1][5] In the 19th century the German name was Stariduor[2] or Staridwor.[3]
HistoryEdit
The population of the village grew rapidly in the late 19th century, with a 60% increase from 1869 to 1880, due to the railroad station established in 1870. After the Second World War, a refrigerator factory was established in Stari Dvor in 1946. A prewar sawmill and wartime military base were converted to a wood processing plant, along with a technical school for wood processing, in 1948. By 1961, the population of Stari Dvor was nearly 10 times greater than it had been a century earlier because of the industries attracted by the railroad.[1] Stari Dvor was annexed by the town of Škofja Loka in 1970, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[6]
