Lexikon hl. m. Prahy

Cadastral territories cover the whole area of the country. In Austria, and previously also in our country, a cadastral territory was called cadastral municipality. Also in Prague, individual cadastral territories mark original historical towns (Staré Město, Nové Město, Malá Strana, Karlín, Žižkov, etc.) or the original municipalities, which were added to Prague (Lahovice, Zličín, Satalice, Kolovraty, etc.). Basically, a cadastral territory is now a structural unit of municipality – i.e. one or more cadastral territories mostly form the district of municipality.

Each cadastral territory is named the moment it comes into being, i.e. in the framework of keeping the land register of the CR. The name can be changed and is unique in the CR.

The tables that follow provide the reader with information on the cadastral territories, giving details on their very first mentions in writing, year of their attachment to Prague, areas, and use of selected land types. As these territories are relatively the most stable in terms of time, long-term time series of population in the individual cadastral territories according to the results of censuses carried out from 1850 to 2001 are given, too.
