flag adopted 3 Apr 1996
Number of inhabitants by 31.12. 2000: 6415. V�tkov was probably founded
in the second half of the 13th century, but the first written trace
dated back to 1301. Throughout years, the village, including the nearby
Vik�tejn castle and surroundings, was in possession of different owners.
People were mostly farmers and craftsmen (in particular, weaving). This
gave a basis for industrial works. Slate was mined and processed in the
surroundings of V�tkov. After World War II, German population was dislocated.
