First settlements in the area of today's municipality were probably established in the 13th century. The first written mention of Chabičov and Smolkov is from 1377. The youngest village is Háj, which was established in 1784 as a part of Chabičov. It was its administrative part until 1922. By the unification of Chabičov, Háj and Smolkov, it officially became an independent municipality, and the three villages became municipal parts. Since 1970, the municipality is called Háj ve Slezsku. Jilešovice and Lhota were incorporated in 1979.
