History

A village called Staré Trnávky (Old Trnávky) existed already in the 13th century and around 1300 the village Nové Trnávky (New Trnávky) was founded. The first written mention is from 1308.^[2]

In 1918 both villages were merged under the name "Trnávka" and in 1929 its name was changed to "Městečko Trnávka".^[3]

Due to the Annexation of so-called "Sudetenland" the village became part of Nazi Germany in 1938. After the World War II in 1945 the ethnically German inhabitants were lynched and subsequently expelled.^[4] The area was later repopulated by Czechs.
