history
Mecziers was first mentioned in writing in 1323. In addition to the farm, which was the seat of the Vladiken family of Mečieř, from 1505 large parts of the settlement on the main road from Prague to Poland belonged to the Prague citizen Jan Žícov, who gave them to the Laudov College the Charles University bequeathed. The name of the settlement was derived from a swordsmith who worked the iron extracted in the Giant Mountains.
Before 1510 Jiří Křinecký von Ronov acquired the shares belonging to the farm from the Čelákov von Mečíř family and gave them to the Kunstberg domain. From 1556 until his death in 1558 Jan d. J. Křinecký took a share from Mečíř. Bohuslav Křinecký on Dětenice left the manorial shares to his cousin Albrecht Křinecký in 1597, who joined them to the Ronow reign .
Together with the Kunstberg lordship, Count Paul Morzin also acquired part of Mečíř in 1650. In 1654 Morzin also bought the remaining parts of Mečíř. In the period after the Thirty Years War, the sword smithy went out. Until 1724 the entire village belonged to the Křinec rule, after which half of Mečíř came to the Ronow rule.
After the abolition of patrimonial Mečíř formed a municipality in the Poděbrady district from 1850 and came to Okres Nymburk in 1934. In 1899 a narrow-gauge beet railway was built, which led from Mečíř to the Vlkava sugar factory . On September 8, 1929, a manned American balloon went down on the Blato Meadows northwest of the village. The regulation of the Blatnice, which began after the floods of 1926, was completed in 1936. In the course of the 20th century all houses were redesigned so that the original character of the village was lost. In 1980 it was incorporated into Křinec. In 1991 the place had 85 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 45 houses in which 77 people lived.
