- Archival history:
- A part of the fonds was handed over by the District Court of Kaplice to the former Ministry of Interior Archives. From there it was taken over, in 1949, by the State Archives in Třeboň. Another part of the fonds was taken over directly from the registry of the District Court of Kaplice by the State Archives in Třeboň in 1949-1954. In 1958, the documents from 1850-1897 were roughly appraised and arranged. In 1960-1961 these files were inventoried. In 1970, the land books were catalogued in the District Archives in Český Krumlov. The books of the District Court were newly arranged in May of 2013.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The District Court in Kaplice was established as part of the reform of the judicial and political administration and began to operate in June of 1850 in the territory of the Regional Court of České Budějovice and the District Criminal Court of Český Krumlov. Its jurisdiction comprised the municipalities of the newly established judicial district of Kaplice. In October 1938, the District Court of Kaplice was abolished, being replaced by the Amtsgericht (District Court) of Kaplice. In May 1945, the pre-war situation was restored and in September 1945 the jurisdiction of the District Court of Vyšší Brod was delegated to the District Court of Kaplice. The District Court of Kaplice was abolished in January 1949. Its agenda was taken over by the People's Court of Kaplice.
