![[Vítkov municipality flag]](../images/c/cz-op-vi.gif)
by Blas Delgado Ortiz, 4 May 2002, after image by Petr Exner;
flag adopted 3 Apr 1996
Number of inhabitants by 31.12. 2000: 6415. Vítkov was probably founded
in the second half of the 13th century, but the first written trace
dated back to 1301. Throughout years, the village, including the nearby
Vik¹tejn castle and surroundings, was in possession of different owners.
People were mostly farmers and craftsmen (in particular, weaving). This
gave a basis for industrial works. Slate was mined and processed in the
surroundings of Vítkov. After World War II, German population was dislocated.
