Karolinka

Karolinka is a small town in the Czech Republic, located about 18 km east of Vsetín. The settlement grew up around a glass factory established on territory of Nový Hrozenkov municipality in 1861. Karolinka was separated as a municipality of its own from Nový Hrozenkov in 1949. The current name, a Czech diminutive form of female name Caroline, (originally Karolinina Huť until 1951) derives from given name of stepmother of its founder Salomon Reich.
