Archiv města Kaňk

The first record appeared in a deed from 1369. Municipal affairs were administered by several councilors headed by the mayor, who were appointed by the Kutná Hora town council. The period 1848 - 1850 was a time of transition towards the municipal self-government. In the self-governing period, Kaňk was an independent local municipality until the Nazi occupation. The reorganization of the town administration, especially the establishment of a system of representation based on political parties, took place after the municipal elections in 1919. From 1939, the village was administered by a government commissioner. Kaňk became a part of Kutná Hora in 1950.
