history
The first written mention of Úvaly comes from 1290. From 1300 the place owned by Prague patricians was called a market. Úvaly belonged partly to the Škvorec lordship , which in 1361 the Prague patrician Velflín Menhart Olbramovič acquired. This line of the Wolfram ( Olbramovici ) family, originally from Eger , was named after their seat from Škvorec. The Prague Archbishop Olbram of Škvorec comes from here . Due to over-indebtedness, the Škvorec family had to cede the Škvorec rule to their creditors in 1418, and Jan z Klučova became the new owner. After further sales, Jan Čeněk z Klinštejna acquired the rule in 1462.
The other part of Úvaly was held by the Hostyně family, and in 1560 it was also acquired by the Smiřický family from Smiřice .
The place that Václav Hájek z Libočan still referred to as a market town in 1541 had become insignificant due to the damage of the Thirty Years War and was only referred to as a submissive town in 1654. After the lords of Klinštejn the lords of Stěžov followed, from 1532 the Smiřický of Smiřice as owners. After their extinction, the property fell to Albrecht von Waldstein , who sold the Škvorec, Kostelec and Uhříněves domains to Karl von Liechtenstein . Until the replacement of patrimonial rule in 1850, the Liechtenstein owners of Úvaly remained and also held extensive land holdings until the 20th century.
In 1754 a post office was set up and in 1854 the area was given a post office. In 1835 Úvaly was raised to a market town again. In 1844, under the direction of Jan Perner, construction began on the Prague - Olomouc railway line , on which the first train rolled through Auwal on August 20, 1845. A 135 m long viaduct was built over the Výmola.
In the middle of the 19th century, iron ore mining started and eight shafts were sunk in the Na Ouvaláku corridor. Later a brick factory and the sugar factory were built. In 1921 the spelling of the place name was changed from Ouvaly to Úvaly. Úvaly has had city rights since 1969.
