The story
The first written mention of Jiřice is in a papal bull of Pope Honorius III from 1226, where the village is documented as a property of the monastery in Želiv. The village developed most rapidly in the second half of the 19th century, when the textile industry in the neighbouring town of Humpolec was developing and new workers were coming to the region.
