There is no evidence of the beginnings of settlement and the origin of the place name. In 1318 there was a first written record of Puta von Posorschitz as the owner of the village. In 1597 Maximilian von Liechtenstein married Katharina von Boskovic, after whose death he inherited the Posorschitz estate and village ( lordship ). These remained in the ownership of the Liechtenstein dynasty until 1918. In 1724 the baroque church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was consecrated instead of a wooden church destroyed by fire.
In 1921 the community was connected to electricity. In 1925 a regular bus connection with Brno and regular film screenings began. In 1930 the community had 1,370 inhabitants.
In 1939 six young men fled abroad and then took part in the Second World War as soldiers in the British Army and Air Force. In 1992, all six were posthumously made honorary citizens of the community. Four locals and seven Jewish refugees, who found asylum in Pozořice during the war, perished in the National Socialist concentration camps. April 25, 1945 was the day of liberation from the German occupation by the Red Army . During the war events in April 1945, 3 locals and 37 Soviet soldiers were killed in the area of the municipality (fallen German soldiers were not counted). About five buildings were completely destroyed in air raids.
In 1948/1949 the small industry in the municipality was nationalized and later dissolved. There were 50–60 jobs in textile and furniture manufacturing. 7–8 citizens fled to western countries. 1951 agriculture was by establishing a cooperative with 81 members under the direction of a Communist Commissioner collectivized . In 1960 a new school building was built. In 1980 all the streets in the village were paved. In 1988 it was connected to the gas pipeline. In 2004, 17 apartments for the elderly with care services and 24 municipal apartments were built.
In the 2006 parliamentary elections, 72% of those eligible to vote in the municipality took part with the result (in%): National-Conservative ODS - 34, Social Democrats - 26, Christian Democrats - 16, Communists - 13, Greens 6.
