Landscape and history
Because of its location between the Divoká Orlice and Tichá Orlice rivers, near their confluence, Světlá is the most flood-prone part of the municipality. The name Světlá is explained by the settlement having been founded on a small, bright, unforested hill.
In the first written mention of Žďár, dating from 1342, Světlá is mentioned together with the estates of Horní Žďár and Chotiv. The settlement of Světlá itself is first mentioned in 1419.
