Pavlov (pronounced [ˈpavlof]) is a small village in Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It is located in almost flat landscape about 7 km southeast of Kladno or 18 km west of Prague and has a population of 106 (2006).
Main road No. 6 from Prague to Karlovy Vary runs through the village, there is also a station on railroad No. 120 connecting Prague with Kladno and Rakovník. A new Expressway R6, which is about to pass just north of Pavlov and alleviate it from heavy traffic, is currently (2008) under construction.
History of Pavlov is very short in comparsion with other settlements in the Czech Republic. There used to be only a small farm with a brewery amidst fields, first mentioned in 1560 and later, after reconstruction in 1726, called Nový Dvůr ("New Farm"). In 1799 a wealthy citizen of Prague named Leopold Paul founded a manor house and a settlement next to the the farm and named it after himself Paulhof (in German) or Pavlov (in Czech). The older name Nový Dvůr (or in pluralized form Nové Dvory) was informally also widely used even much later into 20th century.
Jiří Václav Daneš, a Czech geographer, was born in Pavlov in 1880.
