The village of Lelov is an administrative part of Stod.
Geographyedit
Stod is located about 18 km (11 mi) southwest of Plzeň. It lies on the border between the Plasy Uplands and Švihov Highlands. The highest point is a hill with an altitude of 460 m (1,510 ft). The town is situated at the confluence of the Radbuza and Merklínka rivers.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Stod is from 1235, when King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia left the village to the Chotěšov Abbey. In 1315, John of Bohemia promoted the village to a market town. By the period of King Charles IV in 1363, the town acquired more privileges, such as a judiciary, the right to use a town seal, and to keep the town's books. In 1544 the town was granted the privilege of establishing a malt-house and a brewery. By 1547 there was a post office and in 1550 Ferdinand I allowed the town to stage an annual fair.[2]
The market town was set back by the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War. By 1654, only about 230 residents remained in Stod. Consequently, tracts of land were distributed to German families from Bavaria to repopulate the region, which led to Germanization of Stod. By 1850, Stod had grown to approximately 1,500 residents and was promoted to a town.[2]
Stod lies on the railway line heading from Plzeň to Domažlice.[6]
