- Archival history:
- The documents were stored in the former municipal house. During the war they were damaged and then stored in unsuitable conditions. The documents from 1901-1925 were arranged in 1954, and the remaining ones in 1959.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The notary office was established as an administrative body of the municipality, led by a notary. Until 1918, the status of the notary did not change. He was an elected municipal employee and an executive of the state administration. The notary office had jurisdiction over several municipalities within a district, or over a town. After the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic, the notary became a civil servant and his power was partially limited. In 1945, the municipal self-government merged with the state administration.
