The original German name Witschkoberg was probably derived from Czech Vilčkoberg, meaning "Vlček's hill". The Czech name Halámky was derived from the personal name Halama.[2]
Halámky is located about 32 km (20 mi) south of Jindřichův Hradec and 34 km (21 mi) southeast of České Budějovice. It lies in the Třeboň Basin. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Lužnice, which forms the western municipal border.
The first written mention of Halámky is from 1783. The village was founded around 1730. The inhabitants made a living by logging, producing charcoal, making baskets and roof shingles. A special activity of the residents was the care of children from the Viennese poorhouses with the financial support of the city of Vienna.[2]
The I/24 road (part of European route E49) from Třeboň to the Czech-Austrian border passes through the municipality.
A technical monument is the bridge over the Lužnice. It is a reinforced concrete arch bridge with an arch span of 5 m (16 ft).[2]
