History
In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1113. Titanium oxide was independently rediscovered in 1795 by Prussian chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth in rutile from Boinik (the German name of Bajmócska), a village in Hungary (now Bojničky in Slovakia). Klaproth found that it contained a new element and named it for the Titans of Greek mythology. After hearing about Gregor's earlier discovery, he obtained a sample of manaccanite and confirmed that it contained titanium.
Geography
It is around a 10-minute car journey from the neighbouring town of Hlohovec and it is served by a regular bus route from Hlohovec. To give some context as to the proximity of Bojničky and Hlohovec, the elevated photo on the Wikipedia article of Hlohovec was taken from a viewpoint within walking distance from the edge of Bojničky along the road the connects Bojničky to Hlohovec. Some people from Bojničky work in Hlohovec. It is also possible to commute the 45 minute by car journey to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, from Bojničky. As at December 2011, around 5 new houses were in the process of being built in Bojničky by individuals.
