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]
