    The town of Prerov was first mentioned in writing in 1141. In 1256 it received the status of a "royal city". As a result of continuous hostilities in the area of ​​Prerov during the Thirty Years' War, the city was depopulated and in decline. After the construction of the Vienna-Brno railway in 1839, which connected Prerov with the capital of the Austrian Empire, a gradual revival of the city began. In June 1945, a tragedy known as the Przerow massacre took place in Prerov, when about two hundred German refugees were shot.

    Prerov is the hometown of composer and pianist Gideon Klein.
