Krajková

History

The first written mention of Krajková is from 1350. It was a mining town where lead was mined. During the Thirty Years' War, mining ceased. In 1818, the village shifted its focus to lace production. In 1947, Krajková lost its town status. From 1938 to 1945, Krajková was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. After World War II, the German-speaking population was expelled.
