history

Finds of cremation graves from the Lusatian culture show that the area was settled at an early age.

Ostrov was first mentioned in documents in 1318 as the seat of Řehněř and Pešek von Ostrov. The subsequent owners of the Ostrov water fortress were Bohuněk von Ostrov in 1395 and Jan Talafús von Ostrov around 1439. In 1493 the Ostrov estate became extinct and was incorporated into the Košumberk domain . Ostrov later became part of the Chroustovice estate . In 1783 the landlord, Count Philipp Kinsky , had a school built in Ostrov.

In 1835, the village of Wostrow , located in the Chrudim district on Chrudim Poststrasse near the ponds Kovárný and Pěchaček, comprised 53 houses in which 296 people, including 11 Protestant families, lived. There was a school, a Meierhof, a pheasant garden with a hunter's house and a retreat in the village. The Catholic parish was Chraustowitz . Until the middle of the 19th century, Wostrow remained subordinate to the allodial rule of Chraustowitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Vostrov formed a community in the judicial district of Hohenmauth from 1849 . From 1868 the community belonged to the political district Hohenmauth . In 1869 Vostrov had 353 inhabitants and consisted of 56 houses. Ostrov has been used as a place name since the beginning of the 20th century .

In 1900 there were 355 people in Ostrov, in 1910 there were 373. In 1930 the village had 322 inhabitants. Since 1961 the community belongs to Okres Chrudim. On July 1, 1985 Ostrov was incorporated into Stradouň . The Ostrov municipality has existed again since the beginning of 1992. At the 2001 census, there were 181 people in Ostrov's 69 houses.
