The town center was later moved to the crossroads between Boleradice and Klobouky as the population increased. 1417 Morkůvky belonged together with Němčičky Wenzel Czihowka. Other owners were the Vladiken von Zástřizl . From Eliška von Zástřizl Morkůvky and Němčičky went in 1537 to their son Zdeněk Žampach von Potštejn.
