History
editThe first written mention of Řečkovice dates from 1277, when Ottokar II of Bohemia donated the courtyard of the St. John's Chapel to Špilberk. In 1784, the Mokrá Hora settlement was founded, which was part of the Jehnice municipality until December 31, 1952.[1] On April 16, 1919, Řečkovice, together with 22 other municipalities, were annexed to Brno. On July 1, 1960, the municipality of Mokrá Hora was annexed to Brno. The current municipal district of Brno-Řečkovice a Mokrá Hora was established on November 24, 1990.[citation needed]

Of its two parts, the Řečkovice district, which is significantly larger and more southerly, has an urban character, while Mokrá Hora, which is much smaller and lies east of the railway line, is more of a village. The most important local company from the middle of the 20th century until its liquidation in 2011 was the pharmaceutical company Lachema, whose premises are located on the eastern edge of the Řečkovice development. There are extensive forests at the eastern edge of the town.[citation needed]
