Karolinka
Karolinka, until 1951 Karolinina Huť (German: Charlottenhütte) 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 woman name Caroline, derives from given name of stepmother of its founder, Jewish entrepreneur, Salomon Reich.

gollark: You *can* still discuss geology, if you want to, you don't need a dedicated channel. It might be nice, but it's not necessary.
