Geography

Brod lies on a side road in the middle of meadows southeast of Črnuče and north of the Sava River.[1]

Name

The name Brod is derived from the Slovene common noun brod 'ford',[4] referring to a place where the Sava River could easily be crossed.

History

In 1900, Brod had a population of only 17 people living in four houses.[5] Brod was annexed by the village of Ježa in 1952, ending its existence as an independent settlement. Ježa itself was annexed by the city of Ljubljana in 1980.[6]
