Districts of Czechia

[edit] History

The Czech Republic used to be divided into seventy-three districts (okresy, sing. okres); three statutory cities with the status of districts (Statutární města, sing. Statutární město) Brno, Ostrava and Plzeň; and the city-district-region of Prague (Hlavní město Praha). Since January 1st, 2003, the regions have been divided into around 203 Municipalities with Extended Competence (unofficially named "Little Districts" (Czech: 'malé okresy') which took over most of the administration of the former District Authorities. Some of these are further divided into Municipalities with Commissioned Local Authority. However, the old districts still exist as territorial units and remain as seats of some of the offices.
