This article appears in Volume V15, Page 844 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KLADNO , a
mining
  town of Bohemia,
Austria
 , 18 m. W.N.W. of Prague by
rail
 . Pop. (1900), 18,600, mostly Czech. It is situated in a region very
rich
  in
iron
 -mines and coal-fields and possesses some of the largest
iron
  and steel works in Bohemia. Near it is the
mining
  town of Buschtehrad (pop. 3510), situated in the centre of very extensive coal-fields. Buschtehrad was originally the name of the castle only. This was from the 15th
century
  to 163o the property of the lords of Kolovrat, and came by devious
inheritance
  through the grand-dukes of Tuscany, to the emperor Francis Joseph. The name Buschtehrad was first given to the railway, and then to the town, which had been called Buckow since its
foundation
  in 1700. There is another castle of Buschtehrad near Hoi-ic. Kladno, which for centuries had been a
village
  of no importance, was sold in 1705 by the grand-duchess Anna Maria of Tuscany to the cloister in
Biewnow, to which it still belongs. The mining industry began in 1842.
