history
According to tradition, Čečelovice is said to have been founded by 14 serfs who settled between the hills Čelova and Čečulky during an uprising in the Hoštice rule in the 14th century .
The first written mention of the village belonging to the Jindřichovice estate was in 1412 as the property of Vlastěj von Kruh. Since the 16th century, Čečelovice was divided between the Hoštice manor and the Bratronice manor . In the tax roll of 1654 13 farmers, seven cottagers, three Chalupners and one Kretschmer are listed for Čečelovice . In 1735 there were 21 farms in the village. In 1840 Čečelowitz or Čičelowitz consisted of 51 houses with 355 inhabitants, including an Israelite family. Eight houses were subject to the Bratronitz estate. The parish was Zaboř , the registers have been kept since 1619. Until the middle of the 19th century, most of Čečelowitz remained subordinate to the Strahl-Hoschitz estate, including the Cuklin estate.
After the abolition of patrimonial Čečelovice formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration and the judicial district of Blatná . In 1880, 478 people lived in the 73 houses in the village. Two fires in 1900 prompted the establishment of a volunteer fire brigade in 1901. The school house was built between 1909 and 1910, and primary school classes began on October 1, 1910. After the First World War, the population began to decline. In addition to the consequences of the war, the main reason for this was emigration to North America and Argentina. The efforts to collectivize farmers started in 1951 were not very successful. In 1956, the government wrote to the farmers in Čečelovice, agitating the benefits and necessity of the socialist economy. In August 1957, 50 small farmers united to form a Czech JZD , but not the 13 large farms. These were later forced to join through unacceptable taxes. In 1958 the village was electrified. After the dissolution of the Okres Blatná, the municipality was added to the Okres Strakonice in 1960. With the beginning of the school year 1965/66 the school was closed and primary school students started school in Záboří. In 1974 a kindergarten opened in the former school. In 1975 the last five private farmers joined the cooperative. On January 1st, 1976 the incorporation to Záboří took place . The financial bottlenecks in the large municipality led to stagnation and decline in Čečelovice. The lack of water and the poor quality of the groundwater in the wells were particularly problematic. After a referendum, Čečelovice broke away from Záboří on July 1, 1990 and formed its own municipality. Since the kindergarten was closed in 1999, the classrooms in the schoolhouse have not been used. In 2002 the village was connected to the gas supply. The following year, a joint waterworks for Slivonice, Čečelovice and Záboří was built near Kuš and the main village streets were paved. In 2004, the municipal administration building was restored. 20 of the 83 houses in the village are used as holiday homes.
