After the abolition of the manorialism in 1850, Čtveřín with the nearby villages of Doubí, Husa (today a part of Paceřice) and Sychrov became a sovereign municipality.^[4] In 1961, Sychrov became a municipality and Čtveřín was amalgamated into it. Since 1990, Čtveřín has been a separate municipality again.^[5]
