History
The first written mention of Pacov is from 1316. The settlement was probably founded in the late 13th century. Pacov flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries. During this period, it obtained the town rights. The development ended with the Battle of White Mountain and Thirty Years' War. The second period of prosperity occurred in the 19th century. The foundations were laid for the current industry: food machinery industry and leather accessories manufacture. In 1888, the railway was built, which helped further expansion.
Geography
Pacov is located about west of Pelhřimov and west of Jihlava, and lies directly on the 15th meridian east. The town lies in the Křemešník Highlands. The highest point is a nameless hill at above sea level. The Trnava River flows through the western part of the municipal territory, then it turns and flows along the northern municipal border. The territory of Pacov is rich in small fishponds.
