Humlikon is a former municipality in the district of Andelfingen in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.
On 4 September 1963, 43 people from Humlikon went to visit an agricultural test site near Geneva on Swissair Flight 306.
When the flight crashed shortly after take off, the village lost one fifth of its 217 inhabitants, including all members of the municipal council, all the school caretakers and the post office clerk.
However, because most households still had grandparents or elder siblings, only six children had to leave their homes, all but one of whom were raised by relatives in other villages.
On October 26 and 27, the new municipal council was elected by the remaining 52 inhabitants entitled to vote; it was not easy to fill all vacancies.
