The story

Jirkov was established as a colonisation village on the Czech-Saxon border in the second half of the 13th century. The first written mention of Jirkov is from 1321 under the name Borek, the name Jirkov (that time written Jurkov) began to be used soon after.

From 1938 to 1945, Jirkov was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. After the surrender of Germany, nearly all of the town's German inhabitants were expelled, and new Czech settlers found a new home in the depopulated town.
