It has about 2,400 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name was derived from the old Czech word jinoci, meaning 'loners' or 'hermits'.
Geography
Jinočany is located about 5 km west of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Prague Plateau. The highest point is at 401 m above sea level.
History
The first written mention of Jinočany is from 1406, when half of the village was owned by the Břevnov Monastery. During feudal times, the village was divided into two parts that had different owners.
In 1845, iron ore began to be mined near Jinočany. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, mining developed and caused the growth of the village and an influx of new residents. After World War I, mining was stopped due to the low iron content of the mined ore. In the years 1945–1964, mining was resumed, but it was unprofitable.
