The story
The area around the Morava River was settled during the second half of the 16th century. The first written mention of Morava is from 1577. Velká Morava was first mentioned in 1564. Before 1720, Morava was split into two separate villages of Dolní Morava and Horní Morava, administered as parts of the Králíky estate. In 1850, the villages became three independent municipalities.
Historically, the territory was inhabited mainly by ethnic Germans. After World War II, the German-speaking population was expelled and partially replaced by Czech settlers. In 1960, Dolní Morava, Horní Morava and Velká Morava were merged into one municipality.
