It has about 100 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name is derived from the personal name Rácha or Ráša (a pet form of the given name Radoslav), meaning "Rácha's/Ráša's".
Geography
Rašín is located about 25 km southeast of Jičín and 17 km northwest of Hradec Králové. It lies a flat and predominantly agricultural landscape in the East Elbe Table. The highest point is at 303 m above sea level.
In the southern part of the municipality is a forest, protected as a nature monument. The Kazatelna Nature Monument has an area of 69.0 ha and the reason for protection is the occurrence of protected and endangered plant species.
History
The first written mention of Rašín is from 1134, when it was owned by the nobleman Preneš of Hořice. He sold the village to Prague archbishop Jan I, who donated the village to the Strahov Monastery. After Rašín changed owners several times, it was bought by the Lords of Pecka and annexed to the Pecka estate. After the Battle of White Mountain, the village became a part of the Hořice estate.
