The first report of the community of V�rovany is from the year 1131
in a document of the Olomouc archbishop Z�dek. The name V�rovany takes
its origins from some kinds of vortices, probably whirlpools. Mineral water
springs are indeed abundant in V�rovany, in fact baths were also formed,
of which the first mention dates from the year 1502. Today's community
is composed of three parts: V�rovany, Rakodavy and Nenakonice. We have
a total of 1362 inhabitants. An eminent personage worth mentioning is the
writer Otokar Byst�ina (*23.5.1861), real name Ferdinand Dost�l, whose
most famous work was the
Han�cl� legenda (The Legend of Han�) (1904).
