History

The first written mention of Čtveřín is from 1394. Doubí was first mentioned in 1388. From 1456, it was part of the Malá Skála estate.[2]

After the abolition of the manorialism in 1850, Čtveřín with the nearby villages of Doubí, Husa (today a part of Paceřice) and Sychrov became a sovereign municipality.[3] In 1961, Sychrov became a municipality and Čtveřín was amalgamated into it. Since 1990, Čtveřín has been a separate municipality again.[4]
