Etymology

In the oldest documents, the name was written as Brantov. The name was probably derived from the surname Brant, meaning "Brant's".[2]

The highest peak in the municipal territory is Kamenný vrch at 842 m (2,762 ft) above sea level.

History

The first written mention of Brandov is from 1549. Until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850, the village belonged to the Červený Hrádek estate. From 1853 to the 1920s, Brandov was known for anthracite mining. The municipality was inhabited mainly by ethnic Germans, but they were expelled after World War II and the population of Brandov decreased significantly.[3]
