According to older traditions, the founder of the Cistercian monastery "Vallis Sanctae Mariae" in Oslavany , Heilwida von Znaim, left her property and a vineyard in Bosonohy to the Benedictine order in 1225.
During the siege of Brno by Torstensson in 1645, the Swedes roamed the dense forest areas around the city in search of food for the troops. Bosonohy was also looted.
After the abolition of patrimonial Bosonohy formed a municipality in the Brno district from 1850. In 1921 Bosonohy came to the Okres Brno-venkov. Between 1930 and 1937, east of Bosonohy, the start and finish of the circuit of the 29.1 km long Brno Ring, which was named Masaryk Ring in honor of President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk , was located. The old route led through the village into the forest area Podkomorské lesy via Ostrovačice and Žebětín back to Bosonohy. During the Second World War, from 1942 to 1944, Bosonohy was the hideout of General Vojtěch Luža , who had set up a partisan unit in the woods.
