The stream Stařečský potok flows through the market town. ==History== The first written mention of Stařeč is from 1259, but the village may have already appeared in the foundation deed of Třebíč Monastery from 1101. In 1499, Stařeč was first mentioned as a market town. In 1534, it was promoted to market town again, so it probably lost this status briefly during the 1499–1534 period. ==Demographics== ==Transport== The I/23 road (the section from Třebíč to Jindřichův Hradec) runs through the northern part of the municipal territory.
