The origins of Valašské Klobouky can be traced back to the 13th century during the medieval period when the region began to see settlement by both Czechs and Germanic populations. Historical records indicate that the town was first mentioned in 1341 under its earlier name, Klobouky, derived from the Czech word for hats (klobouk), which refers to its historical connection to hat-making and wool crafts. This traditional craft industry laid the foundation for the town’s identity and economy.
