History


The first written mention of Pečky is in a donation deed of King Ottokar I from 1225. For centuries, it was a small agricultural community, often changing their owners and often divided between several estates.[2]

After 1869, the railway was built and several larger companies were established, focused on the production of agricultural needs and processing of sugar beet. In 1879, Pečky became a market town, and in 1925, it became a town.[2]
