history
The village emerged at the beginning of the 13th century from the Ondřejóv farm belonging to the Dubá lords . Ondřejóv was on the old Landessteig and has been documented in writing since 1352. In the Middle Ages, the robber baron Mikuláš Zůl ruled here.
Ondřejóv has been a town since the 14th century . The villages of Kaliště and Kubětín, which died out in the Thirty Years' War, belonged to the parish of Ondřejóv . During the Hussite Wars and also in the Thirty Years War the area was plundered, devastated and depopulated. Many of the villages fell desolate during this time . In the course of its history, the village then belonged to Messrs Kostka von Postupitz , the Schellenbergers and the Waldsteiners .
On November 10, 1745, Empress Maria Theresa , in her capacity as Queen of Bohemia, elevated Ondrejow to a market town and granted the place the right to hold four annual fairs and to build a town hall.
After the abolition of patrimonial Ondrejow formed a municipality in the Český Brod district from 1850 . In 1892 the Prague professor Jan Ježek opened the first hydrotherapy institute in Bohemia in Ondřejov.
In 1898 the industrialist and amateur astronomer Josef Jan Frič had an observatory built on the Manda hill . He donated this to Charles University in Prague in 1928 .
In 1946 the community came to Okres Říčany; since 1961 it belongs to Okres Praha-východ.
