History
The first written mention of Štětí is from 1312. For centuries, it was part of the Mělník estate, owned first by Bohemian queens and later by various noble families. From 1542, the estate was owned by Zdislav Berka of Dubá. During his rule, in 1549, Štětí was promoted to a town. During the Thirty Years' War, the town was looted several times. In 1654, Štětí was still ethnically Czech, but in the following decades, German settlers came to the town, which gradually became predominantly ethnically German. During the 18th century, the town was hit by various disasters: the passage of troops, floods, epidemics, crop failures and a large fire in 1788. The economic boom occurred in the 19th century. In addition to agriculture and river fishing, Štětí was famous for the production of stockings. In the second half of the 19th century, the railway was built and the town was industrialised.
