'''Myjava''' ({{Audio|Myjava (Slovak pronunciation).ogg|pronunciation}}; {{IPA|sk|ˈmijaʋa}}; historically also Miava, {{langx|de|Miawa}}, {{langx|hu|Miava}}) is a town in [[Trenčín Region]], [[Slovakia]].

==Geography==
{{Slovak municipality/geo|313|<ref name="base_info"/>}}

It is located in the [[Myjava Hills]] at the foothills of the [[White Carpathians]] and nearby the [[Little Carpathians]]. The river [[Myjava (river)|Myjava]] flows through the town. It is 10&nbsp;km away from the [[Czech Republic|Czech]] border, 35&nbsp;km from [[Skalica]] and 100&nbsp;km from [[Bratislava]].

==History==
The settlement was established in 1533 and was colonized by two groups of inhabitants: refugees fleeing from the Ottomans in southern [[Upper Hungary]] (today mostly [[Slovakia]]) and inhabitants from north-western and northern Upper Hungary. 

During the [[Revolutions of 1848]], the first [[Slovak National Council (1848–1849)|Slovak National Council]] met in the town as a result of the [[Slovak Uprising 1848-1849|Slovak Uprising]]. Today, the house of their meeting is now part of the Museum of the Slovak National Councils, a part of the [[Slovak National Museum]] network.

Before the establishment of independent [[Czechoslovakia]] in 1918, Myjava was part of [[Nyitra County]] within the [[Kingdom of Hungary]]. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the [[Slovak Republic (1939–1945)|Slovak Republic]]. On 8 April 1945, the [[Red Army]] dislodged the [[Wehrmacht]] from Myjava and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.
