Díly

Díly is a Czech toponym found as the name of several villages and parts of municipalities in the Czech Republic. The word díly is the plural of díl in Czech, meaning "parts," "shares" or "plots," and the place name typically reflects historical land division or settlement patterns in which fields, plots or hamlets were laid out as discrete units.

Settlements called Díly are generally small and rural, often dating back to medieval or early modern periods of regional colonization and agricultural development. They characteristically form part of larger municipal administrations and are connected to nearby towns by local roads. Local economies have traditionally centered on agriculture, forestry and small-scale crafts, with increasing commuting to urban centers in recent decades.

Architectural and cultural features in such villages can include traditional Central European farmhouses, small chapels or wayside crosses, and remnants of communal land-use practices. Administrative status varies: some Díly are independent municipalities, while others are administrative parts of neighboring villages or towns. Demographic trends in these localities mirror broader rural patterns in the Czech Republic, including aging populations and population decline in more remote areas, offset in some places by suburbanization or rural tourism.
