Báhoň () is a village and municipality in western Slovakia in Pezinok District in the Bratislava Region. The village of roughly 1,833 people is located next to Kaplná, east of Pezinok and south-west of Trnava.
==History== The first written reference to the town comes from 1244. However, it is assumed that for the three hundred years before that Báhoň was owned by the Hungarian kings, attached to the Bratislava Castle estate. In the middle of the 16th century the town has experienced an influx of German colonists, who soon became dominant. Their dominance was defused half a century later when Croatian colonists moved in. The town became fully Slovak after the 1918 founding of Czechoslovakia.
