History

[edit]

The first mention of Sebuzín was in 1251. The name is derived from Slavonic name Chcebud. Sebuzín was a liege village, which was despoiled during the 30 Years War. The first mention of the school in the village was in 1774. Most of houses where destroyed by a big fire in 1827. In 1855, a cholera epidemic spread.[citation needed]

The main livelihood of the inhabitants is[when?] in growing fruit trees (cherries, apricots, apples, peaches, pears) and exporting it to Germany down the River Labe.

Sebuzín was part of the town of Litoměřice until 1960.[citation needed] It became part of Ústí nad Labem in 1980.[1]
