  In 1918, both municipalities were merged under the name "Trnávka". In 1929, its name was changed to Městečko Trnávka.
  
  Due to the Munich Agreement, the municipality became part of Nazi Germany in 1938. After World War II, the ethnically German inhabitants were lynched and subsequently expelled. The area was later repopulated by Czechs.
