- Archival history:
- After dissolution of the Regional Office in Cheb, its registry office was stored in the District Head Office there, the future district office. At the end of the 1930s, it was taken over by the Municipal Archives in Cheb and documents were held in its care until 1959, when it was taken over by the State Archives in Kadaň. In 1974–1976, the whole fonds was moved to the central archives in Plzeň. From 1974, the fonds in Plzeň was gradually arranged; an inventory was created in 2004.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Kreisbehörde (Regional Office) in Cheb was established in 1855 as one of 13 second-ranking political offices in Bohemia. Cheb Province was divided into 19 districts with 18 political and judicial district offices and 1 district office for political administration in Cheb.
