history
The place was first mentioned in writing in 1649, when the owner of the Vsetín manor , Mikuláš Pázmány, separated the 41 Pasekaren inns in the upper valley of the Vsetínská Bečva from Hovězí and founded the new Rosinka settlement named after his wife Rosina. In 1652 Georg Illésházy acquired the rule. Over time, the place was called Rozinka , Rozinkow and Hrozenkov . In the 17th and 18th centuries, the inhabitants of the village were required to provide defense services on the Hungarian border on the Javorníky ridge . In the years 1765, 1775, 1783 and 1785 there were Wallachian uprisings against the forced labor. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village always remained submissive to Vsetín.
After the abolition of patrimonial Nový Hrozenkov / Neu Hrosenkau formed from 1850 a political municipality in the district administration Valašské Meziříčí . The inhabitants lived from cattle breeding and salas farming ; agriculture was not very bearable. In 1857 a school house was built. Between 1861 and 1863, the glass manufacturer Samuel Reich had the Karolinenhütte glassworks built in the eastern part of the village . Some of the residents found employment there. At the end of the 19th century, the income from agriculture was so inadequate that about 1000 people emigrated to the USA from 1885; most of them settled in Texas . From 1884 there were attempts to regulate the controversial border between Moravia and Hungary in the Javorníky . In 1908 the Vsetín – Velké Karlovice railway was inaugurated. Since 1909 the municipality has belonged to the Vsetín District. In 1948 Nový Hrozenkov was promoted to Městys. A little later this status was abolished after the communists came to power, so Nový Hrozenkov was the last municipality to receive this status. At the beginning of 1949 Karolinina Huť was separated from Nový Hrozenkov and raised to a separate municipality and two years later to the city. After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992, border regulation between the Czech Republic and Slovakia took place in the Kasárna corridor. The community has had a coat of arms since 1996. With effect from October 31, 2006 Nový Hrozenkov received his status as Městys back.
