Jivenská was built in 1941.
Jivno is a village in South Bohemia, about 7.5 kilometres north-east of České Budějovice, with a population of 425. It’s probably named after the jíva, AKA Salix caprea, AKA goat willow or great sallow.
The earliest mention we know of is from 1378, when Charles IV mortgaged part of the Hluboká estate – including Jivno – to Jan z Leuchtenberka.
In 1619, Jivno was the site of a battle during the Bohemian Revolts; 70 men were killed there.
In the 19th century, as České Budějovice (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/04/26/prague-4-day-368-budejovicka/) expanded and needed more housing, Jivno became known for its production of bricks and roof tiles. A steam-operated brickworks operated there from 1911 to 1999.
