history
After the border between the Nové Město na Moravě and the Žďár monastery was established on September 9, 1366 by order of the regional marshal Heinrich von Leipa , Boček Žďárský von Kunstadt ordered the forests to be made usable in 1368 and the Walddorf monastery court was established. Starting from the monastery courtyard, the settlement of Czykhaki was established, in which forest workers and charcoal burners initially lived. After the reclamation of forest areas, agriculture became possible and after the creation of ponds, fish farming became possible. Mining took place later and the abundance of wood led to the construction of two glassworks. In 1759 the settlement of Kozandiana was established.
Until the secularization of the monastery in 1784, both places remained monastic property and then became part of the Žďár rule. In 1788 the forest village merged with the settlement of Cikhay, whose name was spelled over the years as Cikaí, Ziegenhain and Cikháje.
After the abolition of patrimonial Cikháj became an independent municipality and from 1849 belonged to the Neustadtl district administration . In 1850 Kocanda was incorporated. A village school opened in 1862 and moved to a new school building in 1901. In 1869 445 people lived in the village and in 1930 there were 319. On March 7, 1930, President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk was made an honorary citizen. After the snow break from October 1930 was between Cikháj and the newly established forest workers settlement Borky at Vojnův Městec a forest railway , which was shut down in 1935 again. During the Second World War, Cikháj became a center of the partisan movement and the group "Mistr Jan Hus" had their hiding place in the woods.
After the end of the war, the village lost part of its inhabitants, 76 of whom moved to the formerly German-settled areas after the expulsion . The district of Kocanda was spun off to the municipality of Herálec in February 1948 . 1950 the place had 209 inhabitants. In the same year, the community began to build a cultural center in the center of the village. At the instigation of the agricultural cooperative , with the help of functionaries of the district committee, the conversion into a cowshed was to be implemented, which was prevented after protests by the residents. After the district refused to provide financial support for the expansion of the house of culture, the municipality sold the ruins to the University of Brno , which in 1963 built a training center in the building. During the territorial reform of 1960, Cikháj was incorporated into Světnov .
In 1970 the headwaters of the Svratka on the Žákova hora were declared a protected landscape area Žďárské vrchy. In 1976 the school was closed. On July 1, 1980, Cikháj was spun off from Světnov and incorporated into Žďár nad Sázavou. Since 1992 Cikháj has formed an independent municipality again.
