Hostěrádky - Rešov, a town located in the south fringe of the Vyškov na Moravě district, can be found on the south-east slope of Stará hora, which was a significant place and witness to Emperor Napoleon's armies winning the memorable battle at Slavkov in 1805. The town's settlement can be traced all the way back to the 8th or 9th Century AD. A 1961 excavation that uncovered the remains of a Slavic tribe settlement proves this statement. The first written documents that mention the town's name date back to 1270. The town's name was derived from the surname Hostirad. Over time, Hostirady changed to Hostěrádky, later to Malé Hostěrádky, and after joining with Rešov in 1913, the town acquired its present name, Hostěrádky - Rešov. It is supposed that the originally independent town of Rešov was founded in 1777 through the "parceling" of land in the possession of the Chrlice dominion, which belonged to the Olomouc bishopric. The name of the town is derived from the word Reš, which was the name of the last overseer of the court. Hostěrádky - Rešov may not be a very large town, but it is one with a rather colorful and stirring history. Wars in particular have left their deep tracks here, including the memorable one in 1805. Prior to the 30 Years War, the town was the site of 24 buildings, and in 1657 this number remained unchanged, although only 3 of them were inhabited. In the time of Napoleon's battle, there were already over 50 inhabited houses, and nearly 300 residents. Today, the town has over 300 dwellings with 750 inhabitants.
The local wine tradition is definitely also worthy of mention. Vineyards can be found on the hillside of Stará hora. Grapes and a vintner's knife are symbols used on the municipal seal, which illustrates the significance and tradition of this town's good wine.
