History

The first written mention of Bácovice is from 1379, when 25 peasants lived here and the village belonged to the Červená Řečice estate. In the 1630s, during the Thirty Years' Wars, Bácovice was badly damaged and the population decreased to nine. During the 19th century, Bácovice was growing again, and reached its peak in 1921.^[3]

From 1975 to 1991, Bácovice was a municipal part of Červená Řečice. In 1992, it became an independent municipality again.^[4]
