History
The first written mention of Chodová Planá is from 1319, when it was a property of the knights Ctibor and Oldřich. It was then owned by various knights, and in 1391 and 1413 it was documented as the property of the Teplá Abbey. Its owners often changed until 1560, when Chodová Planá was bought by the Širtingar (German: Schirnding) family. After the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, the properties of the Širtingar family were confiscated, and Chodová Planá was acquired by the counts of Haimhausen. The estate remained in their possession until the abolition of serfdom in 1848. In 1733, a huge fire destroyed half of the market town, including the church. Until 1938, Chodová Planá had a Jewish community. Its presence is documented by two remaining Jewish cemeteries.
Geography
Chodová Planá is located about northeast of Tachov and northwest of Plzeň. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Teplá Highlands, but the western part with the built-up area lies in the Podčeskoleská Hills. The highest point is at above sea level. The stream Kosový potok flows across the municipal territory. There are several fishponds in the vicinity of the market town. The largest of them is Regent, a pond used for sports and recreational purposes. The pond was founded in 1479.
