The story

Chodov was originally a Slavic settlement. The Slavic colonisation was not successful and in the Middle Ages this part of Bohemia was colonised by Germans. In the 12th and 13th centuries, Chodov belonged to the Waldsassen Abbey and in the 14th–17th centuries it belonged to the Loket estate. In 1894, Chodov was promoted to a town and got the right to use its own coat of arms.

From 1938 to 1945 it was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of Reichsgau Sudetenland. Until the end of World War II the town was inhabited mostly by Germans. After the war, the German population was expelled and the town was resettled by Czechs. In the 1960s a big chemical factory was built in nearby Vřesová and then new housing estates were built for Czech and Slovak workers who moved here.
