Both the villages are reminded in the deed of the Czech prince Boleslav II who gave them to the new established Brevnov monastery as a source of living in 993 A.D. Since that time they had been possessed by many subjects, for the longest period by the Zbraslav monastery, i.e. till the year 1848 when the serfdom was abolished. Since the end of the last century the villages have been united under the name Vran-Skochovice. During centuries the inhabitants lived from fishing, pottery and agriculture. In 1836 the paper mill was built which employed most of local inhabitants and brought development of the village. Since the end of the last century, when the railway Praha-Dobris/Cercany has been running, the another possibility of work has appeared, especially in the near-by Modrany. In 1936 the newly established hydro-electric power station has begun to work.
The attractiveness of Vrane nad Vltavou village is stressed by its good accessibility ensured by the roads from Praha-Zbraslav and by the highway D2 over Jesenice village as well as by railway; the village can be also reached from the river Vltava. The village itself has favourable natural environmental conditions both for housing and recreation because of its location in the vicinity of forests and water areas.
