Geography[edit]

Ostrožská Nová Ves is located about 7 kilometres (4 mi) south of Uherské Hradiště and 29 km (18 mi) southwest of Zlín.

The Morava River flows along the western municipal border.

In the western part of the territory is a set of artificial lakes known as Novoveská štěrková jezera ('Nová Ves gravel lakes'). They were founded on the site of former quarries where gravel was mined. The lakes are used as a drinking water reservoir, only Lake Albatros is used as a natural swimming pool.[2]

History[edit]

The first written mention of Ostrožská Nová Ves is from 1258, when it was called Dlouhá Ves. During the Hussite Wars, the village became abandoned. In 1464, after it was resettled, the village was named Nová Ves ('new village'). The village was burned down during the Austro-Turkish War in 1663 and during the Rákóczi's War of Independence in 1703–1704.[3]

Until 1924, the municipality was called Nová Ves u Ostrohu, then it was renamed Ostrožská Nová Ves. In 1949, the municipality of Chyjice was annexed to Ostrožská Nová Ves.[4]
