The first written mention of the village Selichowicz was made in 1261 in the founding deed of the Smilheim monastery in Vizovice . Thereafter, Wilhelm von Hustopeče gave the Cistercians the village of Lípa and part of Selichowicz and Zádveřice. However, the greater part of Selichowicz belonged to the rule Zlín . The Obůrek brook formed the border between the Zlín and Smilheim parts. In 1361 the village was named Zelithowicz , 1397 Selythohowicz and 1437 Zelechowicz . After the fall of the monastery, Zigmund Kuna von Kunstadt , a descendant of the monastery founder, received the monastic property for the purpose of renovating the monastery, which however never took place. The place name is passed down as Zylochowicze from 1490 and again as Zelechowicz four years later . In 1518 the village was named Zielichowicz . Other forms of name were Zielechowicze (1578), Ziellochowitz (1580), Zielychowicze (1596), Zelechowicz (1672) and Zielechowitz or Želechowitz (1718). After the majority of the residents had become Protestant in the second half of the 16th century, a Protestant pastor was appointed in addition to the Catholic pastor, and finally the parish became entirely Protestant. The Vizovi share consisted of twelve farms in 1585. The parish expired in 1620 and the village was parish to Zlín or Vizovice.
