Hostasovice village is in Kravarsko-region situated in Near-Beskydy Hills. As the most southern part of Novy Jicin district, Hostasovice village forms the entrance to Vallachia region. According to legend, the foundation of Hostasovice village is dated around 1249. A bird-catcher called Hostasa was a warden of Hradisko fortress that was property of the Stary Jicin castle and at that time he settled near to the Hrazka creek. A plantation and afterwards a wood-village has been founded that belonged to Stary Jicin manor. In 1749 the trustee of Stary Jicin castle promoted the previous wood-village to a self-dependent commune. Hostasovice obtained the right to use a seal with the sign of crossed dew-rake and flail. The community was living itself till 1978 when it became a part of Novy Jicin town. In 1991 Hostasovice became again a self-dependent commune. In 1999 the 750th anniversary of the foundation of Hostasovice village and the 250th jubilee of promotion the wood-village to the self-dependent commune was celebrated. The celebration was held from Juni 27th to Juli 6th. At present there are 655 residents.
