History

Until 1918, the town was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the Gabel district (later Gabel bei Niemes), one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[2] In 1918, it became a part of independent Czechoslovakia.

In 1938, Jablonné was ceded to Nazi Germany as a result of the Munich Agreement. Until 1945, it was administered as a part of the Regierungsbezirk Aussig of Reichsgau Sudetenland. In May 1945, after the liberation of Czechoslovakia, it returned under Czechoslovak administration.
