Děčín Zoo was founded in 1948, when only four zoological parks existed in Czechoslovakia. [1]

The zoo in opened its gates in 1949, through Ludvík Grác, a local Podmokly businessperson and zoological specialist and a group of animal enthusiasts. Ludvík Grác became the first director, a title he kept until 1966. The present director is Kateřina Majerová. [1]
