history
The first written mention of Mokrá took place in 1350, when Albert of Černovice his wife Jitka income from the villages Mokrá, Černovice and Píšová as jointure overwrote. Since the end of the 14th century, Mokrá has always belonged to the property of the Chapter of St. Peter in Brno. The lime kiln was an essential source of income for the residents of Mokrá. On July 24, 1792 Mokrá burned down with the exception of five chaluppets.
The first mention of the Horákov castle lordship was made in 1371 in the country table . The castle, which was destroyed during the Moravian Brotherly War, was mentioned for the last time in 1464. The Herynk von Sloupno family had a fortress built in Horákov at the end of the 15th century. In 1533 Jan Kyjovský from Kyjovice Horákov joined the Kobylnice rule . Later Horákov became subordinate to Sokolnice . The last landlords were Count Mitrovský. In 1786 a one-class village school was established in Horákov, before schooling took place in Tvarožná .
After the abolition of patrimonial Mokrá and Horákov formed from 1850 two independent political communities in the district authority of Brno . In 1877 the two-class school operation started in Horákov and the children from Mokrá also started school. A school of its own was established in Mokrá in 1900. In 1912 the school in Horákov moved into a newly built schoolhouse. In 1921 both communities were assigned to the Okres Brno-venkov and from 1950 they belonged to the Okres Brno-okolí. In the 1950s, a geological survey of the limestone deposit north of Mokrá was carried out. Because of their productivity, it was decided to build a cement works. The Roketnice valley on the border between Mokrá and Pozořice and Sivice offered itself as a location ; a branch line from Blažovice to the Mokrá cement works was built from the Brno – Vlárský průsmyk line. A settlement was built next to the cement works. After the dissolution of the Okres Brno-okolí, both communities were assigned to the Okres Brno-venkov in 1961. In 1968 there were 1050 people in Mokrá.
On July 26, 1976, the municipalities of Mokrá and Horákov were merged into one municipality of Mokrá-Horákov. At the end of the 20th century, the number of inhabitants increased strongly because of the scenic location of Mokrá-Horákov and the proximity of the Brno conurbation. Most of the community's residents work in Brno, while a small proportion work in the cement works or make a living from agriculture.
