History
A German minority historically used to live in Prachatice, composing 47% of the region's population by 1930.[2] After the Second World War, the German populations were expelled, and the district experienced a notable demographic change as more ethnic Czechs were settled in the region.[3][4]
After the German occupation of Czechoslovakia had ceased, the district's economy and society were ruined by the war, with the population constituting 55% less than what it was in 1930.[5]
Economy
The Glass and Wood industries were historically the primary occupations in the district.[2]
