The Kingdom was part of the Holy Roman Empire until its dissolution in 1806, whereupon it became part of the Austrian Empire, and subsequently the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867. Following the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I, both Kingdom and Empire were dissolved and Bohemia became part of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic (1918) a federation of Czechs (Bohemia and Moravia) and Slovaks with capital in Prague In current times, Buštìhrad is a small town in Central Bohemia in the Kladno district. The last census reports the total number of people in Buštìhrad as 2295 (31. 12. 2003), but these days the number is rapidly growing due to influx of new inhabitants. The town is connected to a natural gas supply and a new sewer system.
