history

Finds of tools from the Middle Stone Age at the Řežabinec pond show that the area was settled at an early age.

The oldest written evidence about Ražice was made in 1469. The name of the place is derived from the personal name Ráž . In 1490 the village , which belonged to the Frauenberg domain , consisted of 12 Hufen, and the residents of Písek Castle had to do their labor. Gold soaps were made in the area, as the name of the Zlatá hora ( Goldberg ) reminds of . Under the Schwarzenberg princes , Ražice was separated from Frauenberg at the beginning of the 18th century and assigned to the nearby Protivín dominion . In 1840 Ražitz consisted of 35 houses with 105 inhabitants. There was an inn in the village. The parish was Heřman . Until the middle of the 19th century, Ražitz always remained subject to the allodial rule Protivin, including the Fideikommissgut Radomielitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Račic formed from 1850 a district of the municipality Heřmaň in the district administration Písek and the judicial district Wodnian . Between 1868 and 1870 the imperial and royal privileged Kaiser-Franz-Josephs-Bahn built the railway line České Budějovice – Plzeň . On October 21, 1882 the move of the municipality Heřman with the villages Račic and Stětic from the judicial district Wodnian to the judicial district Písek was approved. Račice broke away from Heřman in 1886 and formed its own municipality. In 1889 the Putim – Ražice railway was inaugurated and a train station with a restaurant was built near Ražice. The official name of the municipality has been Ražice since 1924 . In 1938 Ražice had about 340 inhabitants. On November 26, 1971 the incorporation of Štětice with Humňany took place. In 2007 Ražice won the Village of the Year competition in Jihočeský kraj.
