Tabor is a city of the Czech Republic, in the South Bohemian Region. It is named after Mount Tabor, which is believed by many to be the place of the Transfiguration of Christ; however, the name became popular and nowadays translates to “camp” or “encampment” in the Czech language.
The town was founded in the spring of 1420 by Petr Hromadka of Jistebnice and Jan Bydlinsky of Bydlin from the Most radical wing of the Hussites, who soon became known as the Taborites. The town is iconic for the years in which it flourished as an egalitarian peasant commune. This spirit is celebrated in Smetana’s “Song of Freedom”, made famous in the English-speaking World by Paul Robeson’s recording in Czech and English.
The historical part of the town is situated on the summit of an isolated hill separated from the surrounding country by the Luznice river and by an extensive lake, to which the Hussites gave the biblical name of Jordan. This lake, founded 1492, is the oldest reservoir of its kind in Central Europe. The historical importance of the city of Tabor ceased only when it was captured by King George of Podebrady in 1452.
