History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

In the area there were originally two villages, Telčice and Chvaletice, both administered by Chvaletice. The first written mention of Telčice comes from 1143 and of Chvaletice from 1393.

Ownership of the place has changed several times between king, monastery and local nobles. The Thirty Years' War followed by forced conversion to Catholicism depopulated the area but the tradition of Protestantism survived. The railway Pardubice–Prague built in 1845 brought the village into the modern age.

In 1953 Telčice became a separate municipality, however in 1975 Telčice and Chvaletice were merged into one municipality. In 1981 Chvaletice obtained town rights.
