Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the area. In 1936, when excavating a shed, a Neolithic stool grave from around 2000 BC was found. Found. Further objects and graves were found during the construction of an industrial park. Remnants of ramparts on the slope below the train station indicate a Slavic castle.
The first written mention of the village was in the land table in 1348 , when Anka, Vilém and Bohuněk von Brankovice were registered as owners of part of the goods. Another part of the village belonged to the sovereign. The name of the place is derived from the first name Branek . There is evidence of a pastor in Brankovice since 1373. Around 1427 the teaching of John Wyclif found dissemination in the place . In 1481 Puta von Lichtenburg sold Brankovice, together with Střílky Castle, to Johann the Elder of Oynitz. Under Tas von Oynitz, Brankovice was annexed to the Bučovice manor in 1511 . The following year, Tas von Oynitz gave Brankovice the forests of Chroustová and Vysoká as a gift. The original of the deed of donation has not survived, only a copy from 1778 is available. Tas von Oynitz had the new settlement Tasovice built to the west of Brankovice. Around 1530 the teaching of the Bohemian Brethren became increasingly popular. From 1533 the rule belonged to Wenzel von Boskowitz , who was married to Anna, a daughter of Tas von Oynitz. Wenzel von Boskowitz allowed the Bunzlau brothers to build a house of prayer in 1552. In 1560 his son Jan Šembera Černohorský von Boskowitz followed as owner. With his death, the Boskowitz family died out in the male line in 1597. The inheritance fell to Jan Šembera's daughters Anna and Katherina and their husbands, the brothers Karl I and Maximilian I of Liechtenstein. Katherina, who converted to Catholicism in the 1580s, had a Catholic pastor reinstated in Brankovice. On November 20, 1690, a fire destroyed the church. After Alois Joseph von Liechtenstein bought the Allodgut Neuschloss in 1798 , Brankovice was assigned to it. In 1828 the Liechtensteiners had a school built in Brankovice.
After the abolition of patrimonial Brankovice formed from 1850 a community in the district administration Wischau . From 1869 the princes of Liechtenstein leased the Neuschloss estate to changing tenants. In 1887 the railway line from Brno via Hungarian Hradisch to the Wlara Pass was inaugurated. In 1890 the Liechtensteiners united the lords of Steinitz and Butschowitz to form Gut Butschowitz-Steinitz. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1895. On February 2, 1899, Emperor Franz Joseph I. elevated Brankovice to a market town. In 1930 a road connection was established between the Brankovice market and Tasov. Between 1949 and 1959 the municipality belonged to the Okres Bučovice and after its dissolution in 1960 came back to the Okres Vyškov . In 1976 the villages Dobročkovice, Kožušice and Malínky were attached to Brankovice. In 1985 Nemochovice and Chvalkovice were added. These localities broke up again in 1990 and formed their own communities. Brankovice has had a coat of arms and a banner since 1998. Since October 10, 2006 Brankovice has again the status of Městys .
