history

Church in Velké Poříčí

Velké Poříčí was probably founded during the colonization of the area by Hron from Načerat on Náchod at the transition from the 13th to the 14th century. The first mention of a Poříčko settlement belonging to Nachod comes from 1415. According to the Náchod historian Jan Karel Hraše (1840–1907), the Trhovka trade route from Stárkov to Glatz through Velké Poříčí is said to have led in the middle of the 15th century . The place has been documented since 1496.

Velké Poříčí was a farming village that was legally subordinate to the town of Hronov. In 1770 the place consisted of 65 houses. During this time Welike Porzicz also received the right to use a community seal . At the beginning of the 19th century it had grown to 124 houses and had 822 inhabitants. At the end of the 19th century, Velké Poříčí turned into an industrial village. After the construction of the district road from Nachod to Hronov in 1868 and the construction of the railway from Chotzen to Braunau between 1873 and 1875 , several large weaving mills settled: in 1891 the company Fröhlich & Pentlarz was founded, in 1895 the company Arnold Kraus and in 1903 the company Eduard Pick. The post office was also opened in 1903. In 1910 the population had risen to 2,880 and the village school, which had already been expanded twice since the renovation in 1877, again proved to be too small. The architect Richard Klenka Ritter von Vlastimil was commissioned with the project to build a new school on the market. In 1912 the new school building was inaugurated; in the school year 1913/14 453 pupils were taught. Groß Poric was electrified between 1910 and 1917. In the 20th century, two steam brick factories and other businesses were built. A gendarmerie station for the surrounding villages was set up in 1921. In 1923 the rectangular market square of 43  ares was laid out. A concrete bridge was built over the Mettau in 1926.

On September 23, 1949 Velké Poříčí was annexed to the city of Hronov. On November 24, 1990, the community regained its independence. In 2006 Velké Poříčí regained the status of a patch that it had lost after World War II. In Velké Poříčí there is an intermediate textile school.
