history
After the Hungarian nobleman Georg Illésházy, who came from the Great Schüttinsel , had acquired the rule of Vsetín in 1652 , he had the Helenenhof, named after his daughter, built above Hovězí in the Vsetínská Bečva valley. A Pasekarensiedlung, which was called Helenovice in 1657, was built near the manor . The settlers were Wallachians who lived mainly from breeding sheep and goats. The subjects from Zděchov , the newly founded Rozinkov and some of the residents of Údolí Huslenky also had to do their labor at the Helenenhof . Helenovice was initially a settlement belonging to Hovězí. In 1663 the Turks set up their camp near Halenkov and abducted a large part of the population. In 1670 the village was called Alenkow or Alinkow . Since the 17th century there were two mills and sawmills in Halenkov. One of them was owned by the rulers. In the valley of Břežitá one was built on the corridor border Rozinkov glassworks . There was also a potash factory . The Helenenhof owned the right to brew Slovak barley beer. In 1728 the settlement was first referred to as Halenkov . In the 19th century both mills and board saws as well as the glassworks ceased operations. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village always remained submissive to Vsetín.
After the abolition of patrimonial Halenkow / Hallenkau formed from 1850 a political municipality in the district administration Valašské Meziříčí . In 1868 Michael Thonet set up a bentwood factory in Hallenkau , where most of the residents found employment. In 1908 the local railway Wsetin – Groß-Karlowitz was inaugurated. Since 1909 the municipality has belonged to the Vsetín District. In 1922 the Thonets factory had 160 employees. In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, the community approved the construction of a fuel depot for the army that created local jobs. The municipality has had a coat of arms since 2003 and at the same time received the right to use a banner. In the same year the state transferred the military properties to the municipality free of charge.
