Biographical History

The district governor's office was established in 1850 as the first instance of political administration for political districts. It was part of the regional government in České Budějovice. In 1855, mixed district offices were established, which had a political and judicial function. From the District Governor's Office in Benešov, 3 district offices were established, including Benešov. In 1868, the judicial and political administrations were separated, and the district governor's office was restored. In 1918, it was renamed as the political district administration, later as the district office. During the Nazi occupation, the district authorities were left in operation, but were under the supervision of the German authorities. In 1945, the local national committee was established.

Archival History

Most of the files were kept in the building of the district office. The district archives took over the documents of the District Office at the beginning of 1959. The fonds was organized and inventoried in the 1960s. Many files were lost when the office moved, and part of the material was destroyed.
