history

The modern, political districts of the Habsburg Monarchy were created in 1868 when the political and judicial administration was separated.

The later area of ​​the Rokitzan District was originally divided into the Pilsen and Hořowitz districts formed in 1868 . The Pilsen district was formed from the judicial districts of Pilsen (Czech: soudní okres Plzeň ), Blowitz ( Blovice ) and Rokitzan ( Rokycany ), the district of Hořowitz from the judicial districts of Hořowitz (Czech: soudní okres Hořovice ), Beraun ( Beroun ) and Zbirow ( Zbiroh ).

The Rokitzan District was finally formed on September 1, 1896 from the Rokitzan and Zbirow judicial districts, which were separated from the Pilsen and Hořowitz districts and merged to form the Rokitzan District.

In 1900 the district of Rokitzan accommodated 60,389 people who lived in an area of ​​711.02 km² or in 86 parishes.
