history
The first written mention of Horní Popovice took place in 1220 when the village was donated by Ottokar I Přemysl to the Cistercian order. In 1228 the village was listed together with Dolní Popovice in the founding deed of the Velehrad monastery as a monastery property. Allegedly, Ulrich III. von Spanheim donated a chapel of the Virgin Mary in Popovice on the hill near Kunovice to the monastery in 1247. Today this is regarded as wrong, since at that time the goods already belonged to the monastery. After the destruction of the monastery by the Hussites , Burian von Vlčnov took possession of the property. In 1437 Burian Popovice received a pledge. In 1467, the monastery pledged the villages of Podolí and Popovice to the town of Hradiště for 20 years . Eventually the Popovice Monastery sold to the city on June 28, 1533. In 1669 the whole village was burned down when the Hungarians invaded. With further incursions by Hungarian troops, Popovice was again partially set on fire in 1683. The oldest local seal dates from 1698. In 1708 a trivial school was established in Popovice, before teaching was carried out in Derfle. In the middle of the 18th century the village had about 500 inhabitants. In 1828 a school was built in Popovice. Until the middle of the 19th century Popovice always remained subordinate to the Uherské Hradiště estate.
After the abolition of patrimonial Popovice / Poppowitz formed from 1850 a community in the Hungarian Hradisch district . During the German War in 1866, Prussian troops brought in cholera , which caused 31 residents to die. In 1888 the Wlara Railway was built and a stop was set up in Popovice. Until the establishment of the parish in 1913 Popovice was parish after Derfle. Since then Popovice has also been the parish for Podolí. In 1920 a trade school was established in Popovice. The local distillery was nationalized in 1948.
