History
The first written mention of Chromeč is from 1353, when the recent area was divided into several parts kept by multiple owners. From 1658 until the abolishment of manorialism in 1848, Chromeč was a part of the Bludov manor.[2]
During the World War II, the German occupiers operated the E384 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[3]
From 1976 to 990, Chromeč was an administrative part of Bludov. The municipality became autonomous on 24 November 1990.[4]
