Malá Hostyz is referred as deserted in a note from 1489. Malá Hostyz was probably in place of nowadays Pustá hamlet. Hostice was for all of its history part of Ruda nad Moravou manor. During the 1870s, button manufactory was established. Brushes producing was started in 1918 operating to 1991. Hostice farmers resisted to the collectivization up to 1957.[3]
