In the beginning of XX century the city was a small town, whose appearance was not disturbed factory pipes. Here lived, mostly farmers and peasants who were engaged in agriculture. Only after the appearance of the railway branch of Pardubice learned Industrialists who appreciated this town.

The center of the Pardubice region began to expand, so the banks of two rivers was turned into parkland.
