- Archival history:
- The oldest part of the files from the documents in the fonds was destroyed due to inappropriate storage during renovation of the seat of the office at the end of the 1920s. During the Nazi occupation, some of the fonds was handed over to the Moravian Provincial Archives in Brno. In 1951 it was handed over to the Provincial Archives in Uherské Hradiště, where the fonds was pooled in 1955-1957 with other parts and organisational work was begun. After dissolution of the provincial archives in 1960, the fonds was again handed over to the State Regional Archives in Brno (now the Moravian Provincial Archives), from where it was transferred in 1963 to the State District Archives Uherské Hradiště, where it is stored to this day. Some other additions were made to the fonds which were set aside from the fonds of the District Office Uherský Brod or transferred from district archives in Hodonín and Gottwaldov (now Zlín).
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The District Office in Uherské Hradiště was established in 1849 under the name District Head Office (Bezirkshauptmannschaft). In 1855-1868, this operated as a political and judicial district office, i.e. it also performed judicial administration. In 1868, its sphere of competence was again restricted to only political administration under the name District Head Office. After the creation of Czechoslovakia, the office was renamed in 1919 to District Political Administration and in 1928-1945 to District Office. In 1945, the sphere of competence of the District Office was taken over by the successor the District National Committee Uherské Hradiště. The political district Uherské Hradiště included the following judicial districts: Uherské Hradiště, Uherský Ostroh with the Jewish communities in Bzenec, Uherský Ostroh and Veselí nad Moravou; until 1855, the judicial district of Strážnice with the Jewish community in Strážnice and from 1868, the judicial district of Napajedla.
