History

In 1397, Hostice was considered to be two separated villages - Velká Hostyz (literally Great Hostyz) and Malá Hostyz (literally Little Hostyz). Malá Hostyz is referred as deserted in a note from 1489. Malá Hostyz was probably in place of nowadays Pustá hamlet. Hostice was for all of its history part of Ruda nad Moravou manor. During the 1870s, a button manufactory was established. Brushes production was started in 1918 and continued operating until 1991^{[citation needed]}. Hostice farmers resisted to collectivization up to 1957.^[3]
