History

[edit]

The first written mention of Cekov is from 1273. During the Hussite Wars, the village completely burned down, but was restored. Cekov was burned down again during the Thirty Years' War in 1639. After the fishpond Cekovský rybník was founded, the village was moved from its original location to its present location.[2]

From 1 April 1980 to 28 February 1990, Cekov was an administrative part of Kařez.[3]
