History
edit
People used to live here from the last ice age. At the end of 12th century are recorded a village named Domašice and a field next to it called Nakorniceh. Domašice was probably in the 13th century moved to the villages current location. Kornice is for the first time mentioned in 1347. It was a part of the domain of Litomyšl until 1848. Kornice was from 1850 administratively a part of Velké Sedliště but since 1898 had its own municipal office. From 1976 it is officially a part of the town Litomyšl.
