The first written mention of Nošovice (as Potmienossowicze or Potměnošovice) is from 1573, when it a part of the Friedeck state country and the country was split from the Duchy of Teschen, however settlement of the village and deforestation began around 1447. Politically the Friedeck state country was a part of the Kingdom of Bohemia. The name of Nošovice was used for the first time in 1664, when it was a village with about 220 inhabitants.[3]
