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.
