History & geography

History

The first written mention of Hrčava is from 1645 as Hertiava, when Hungarian fortifications were built here. It was initially a hamlet administered by Jaworzynka, which belonged then to the Duchy of Teschen, a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia. After World War I, Polish–Czechoslovak War and the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, Jaworzynka with Hrčava became a part of Poland. In June 1921, Hrčava was temporarily annexed again to Czechoslovakia, but still was a part of Jaworzynka. In June 1924, it became a separate hamlet with a special legal status, administered by the district council. The municipality of Hrčava was established in October 1927. They were then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war it was restored to Czechoslovakia.
