FRýDEK-MíSTEK DISTRICT

'Frýdek-Místek District' (, ) is a district (''okres'') within the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. Its administrative center is the city of Frýdek-Místek. It was created by 1960 reform of administrative divisions. Its eastern part was before 1960 a part of Český Těšín District, which ceased to exist by 1960 reform. Creation of Frýdek-Místek District is viewed by a part of Polish minority as a Czechization act of government, as Český Těšín District covered exact southern part of Zaolzie and Poles were percentually more numerous than in the newly created Frýdek-Místek District which also encompasses ethnically pure Czech areas outside of Zaolzie.
