Čimhová (, Polish: Czymhowa) is a village and municipality in Tvrdošín District in the Žilina Region of the northern Slovakia. It has over 600 inhabitants and lies on the banks of Oravica river, in the Orava Basin, near the Slovak-Polish border.
==History== In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1438. The prime settlements were established as part of the colonisation period which started in the 13th century. The house of Platthy received the area as a donation from the king Albert II of Germany, as a recognition for their service in fighting against the Ottomans. The name 'Chemechowá' (original from 1428) is derived from the flowering plant bird cherry, 'čremcha' (in Slovak) or 'chemecha' (in the local dialect). The name evolved continuously, as the scribes and officials of the kingdom were of Hungarian or German origin. It was also a target for mockeries from the officials of Orava County, which harboured negative stance to the village's owners, the house of Platthy originally from the Liptov County. This conflict of nobility was a cause of many historical events which ultimately gave shape to the realities present in the contemporary towns and villages located in Orava Basin.
