The documents were stored at the town hall and after 1950 they were handed over to the District Archives in Třešť. After the demise of the Třešť district in 1960, the Jihlava District Archives took over the documents and deposited them in its branch in the Telč chateau. After the cancellation of the branch, or the depository, the archives were transferred from Telč to Jihlava in 2005.
Třešť had been a non-royal town with a strong Jewish minority since the 15th century. Jews were mentioned to live in Třešť as early as the second half of the 13th century. From 1686, the compact Jewish settlement (ghetto) had been separated from the Christian community. In 1850–1864 Třešť was part of the judicial district of Jihlava, and in 1864–1911 a part of the judicial district of Jihlava-Country. In 1902, Třešť was promoted to a town. In 1908 the judicial district of Třešť was declared to be established and in 1911 came into being, ceasing to exist in 1949.
