Archiv města Chlumec nad Cidlinou

accessible The first record of Chlumec is from 1325. Originally, this municipality belonged to the Šternberk family. During the first half of the 19th century, a district court, a district office and a district council were established in the town. Patrimonial authorities and municipality offices were to cease operations on 1 January 1850. In June 1850, part of the files were moved from the abolished municipality to the district court in Chlumec nad Cidlinou. In the period 1850-55, the judicial district of Chlumec nad Cidlinou fell under the administration of the governor's office in Nový Bydžov. In the period 1855-1868, the district office in Chlumec administered 44 municipalities with approximately 19,000 inhabitants. The fonds covers the history of the town of Chlumec nad Cidlinou.
