Special callsign to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the first written mention of the Staré Město.
Staré Město - Old Town (district Uherské Hradiště) a town in the Uherské Hradiště district in the Zlín Region Staré Město (until 1996 Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště , German Altstadt bei Ungarisch Hradisch ) is a town in the district of Uherské Hradiště in the Zlín Region on the right bank of the Morava River . Approximately 6,600 inhabitants live here.
Together with Uherský Hradiště and Kunovice, it forms an urban agglomeration with 38,000 inhabitants.
The first written mention of the village comes from 1131. Since then, it has been referred to as Veligrad. In 1321 we find the first mention of the Staré Město.
In the years 1943 - 1945 , 1948 - 1954 and 1971 - 1990 it was part of the neighboring town of Uherské Hradiště , and from 1961 until 31 December 1995 it bore the official name "Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště". fter independence, the Old Town was officially promoted to a city in 1997 .
Pre-Great Moravian history
The territory of the Old Town has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Archaeological excavations document the settlement in the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.
The most important representative of the people of the Early Bronze Age is the people of the Unetic culture , whose settlement is expected in places near the cemetery, more specific documents in the form of skeletal graves are from the Zahrádky locality. The people of the Middle Bronze Age left artifacts in the Old Town locality of Špitálky and Čertůj kút.
From the Late Bronze Age, there is a unique document of the settlement of the people of the Velatic culture from the Špitálky locality. On the other hand, there are eleven documents about the settlement of the people of the Lusatian culture. These are Čertúj kút, Zadní Kruhy, Zahradky, Trávník, Na Valách, Na Dědině, Za Kostelíkem, Špitálky, Nový Svět, Olší a Špilov. The settlement of the Platenice culture people from the Devil's Corner and from the location of Padělka is documented from the early Iron Age - Hallstatt. From the La Tène period, a Celtic settlement in the position of the Back Circles is assumed, which completed the prehistoric civilization process.
From the ancient Roman period and the period of migration of peoples, a Germanic settlement on the Devil's Corner is assumed. In contrast to the rare Germanic finds, the findings of Roman provenance appear to be more frequent and interesting, especially from the Špitálka and Na dědině locations. Sometime at the turn of the 6th and 7th centuries , the Slavs were already settled on the Na Valách watchtower. The presence of another settlement is possible at Na Špitálkách. During the 8th century , other localities in the cadastre of the Old Town were settled in the positions Na Zerzavici, Za Radnicí, Za Zahradou.
Sometime in the middle of the 8th century or shortly afterwards, a wall with a moat was built on the Na Valách housing estate, which created a fortified settlement. Great Moravian history Around the middle of the 9th century, a brick church was built in Vala. The acropolis of the Old Town "Na Valách" reached a boom in the second half of the 9th century . With the establishment of other housing estates in the immediate vicinity, an extensive fortified urban-type formation was created, today referred to as the "agglomeration", for the then conditions with an extraordinary concentration of population. The Na Valách locality gradually became the central burial ground of the entire agglomeration, which destroyed the original fortified settlement. As a result, part of the population probably also moved to other parts of the agglomeration.

The Na Valách locality gradually became the central burial ground of the entire agglomeration, which destroyed the original fortified settlement. As a result, part of the population probably also moved to other parts of the agglomeration.
The development of the agglomeration was divided into purpose-built areas, including production districts of specialized craft production, subject to a certain urban concept (Na Dědině power area, Na kostelíku, U Víta, Na Špitálkách and Nad Haltýři production areas, Salaška market area, Na Valách central necropolis, residential In districts garden, Špitálkách and Rybárny , the island of St. George is a power component manufacturing, the central church complex on Sadské promontory DERFLA ). Inside, on the border and outside the agglomeration, there are evidence of several types of fortifications from the fortifications of the socalled lighter structure (eg the so-called Christin's Wallancient construction and shape) to the strongest wall found so far within our Great Moravian forts, in the eastern part of the Uherské Hradiště district Rybárny in the location Bumbalov. The wall of the shell structure with a massive stone wall over 2 meters thick was almost 10 meters wide.
Post Great Moravian history
The demise of Great Moravia (around 907 ) of course also manifested itself in a large housing estate in the Old Town. The former fortified settlement was transformed into a market village called Veligrad ( villa Veligrad ), as recalled by the well-known document of the Bishop of Olomouc Jindřich Zdík from 1141, which usually includes the origin of this document, or the document from 1228 (list of estates of the Velehrad monastery). in the privilege of Přemysl I. Otakar), which mentions Weligrad, formerly a town, now a township, or also a former fortified settlement, now a market village ( Weligrad, civitas primo, modo burgus ).
The importance of this market village, where "markets have been held since time immemorial", increased again when the Moravian Margrave Vladislav Jindřich in 1205founded a Cistercian monastery near Veligrad. However, Veligrad lost "old and well-known market law" in 1257 , when it was ordered by the Czech monarch Přemysl Otakar II. to transfer market rights from
Veligrad and nearby Kunovice ) to a newly founded town on an island in the Morava River, which was first named Nové Město, a year later Nový Veligrad and only later in the early 14th century , when the name Velehrad was adopted for a new village around Velehrad monastery, the leveling off for New Veligrad Hradiště name (or. Hradiště nad Moravia), from the 17th century, then Uherske Hradiste . The last time the Old Town settlement was named Veligrad is in a document of the Czech King Jan of Luxembourgof 2 March 1315 (CDM VI, No. 88, p. 61). In a document of Albert of Zdounek from February 5, 1321, it is already called the Old Town. Since then, the original Veligrad has been called Antiqua civitas - Old Town.
The Velehrad Monastery in the Old Town built a farmyard, which was used to supply it. Until the middle of the 15th century, the town belonged to the old town parish. However, the decline of the Velehrad monastery during the Hussite wars caused the Old Town to be pledged by the monastery to the town of Uherské Hradiště, and in the 16th century , according to land registers , the Old Town became the property of Uherské Hradiště. For the burghers of Hradiště, the Old Town was of special importance as an agricultural center with farmyards and lucrative free estates.
From the middle of the 19th century , the purely agricultural character of the village changed until then. The Northern Railway of Emperor Ferdinand was built and put into operation in 1841 , which connected the Old Town with Vienna and with the industrial areas in the north of Moravia and Silesia . In 1853, a station building was erected along the line . The founding of the Mayan brothers' sugar factory in 1868 and other industrial enterprises led to the emergence of a large class of workers alongside the agricultural population.
In 1990, on the basis of a popular referendum, the Old Town became independent by separating it from the neighboring Uherské Hradiště, and in 1997 the Old Town was promoted to a town.
In the same year, the Old Town was hit by a century-old water from flooded Moravia . A total of 93 houses were demolished as a result of the catastrophic flood.
