Biographical History
The office began its activities in 1850 as a district governor's office, a body of political administration of first instance. It was subject to the regional administration in Jičín. In 1855, the mixed political-judicial district offices began to operate, being separated in 1868. In that year, the District Governor's Office in Poděbrady was re-established. In 1928, the name was changed to the District Office and the branch of the district political administration in Nymburk was merged with the political administration in Poděbrady. The office was abolished in 1942 and the agenda was transferred to the district office in Nymburk.
Archival History
The most important part of the fonds is presidium files, which have been preserved except for the year of 1864. The documents were stored at the seat of the office, and after its abolition they were transferred to Nymburk. The fonds was deposited in Prague and Jičín, until being transferred to the District Archives Nymburk in the late 1950s. In 1972 - 1974, presidium files from 1851-1942 were processed in the form of thematic catalogs. Since 2006, the fonds has been gradually processed.
