History
The first written mention of Kunovice is from 1196. Until the establishment of Uherské Hradiště in the mid-13th century, it was an important administrative centre and defensive point with a castle. From the beginning of the 15th century, Kunovice was referred to as a market town. In the 1930s, when an Avia factory was established, Kunovice began to transform from an agriculture community to an industrial one. In 1949–1954 and 1972–1990, Kunovice was a municipal part of Uherské Hradiště. Kunovice gained the town status in 1997.
Geography
Kunovice forms a conurbation with neighbouring Uherské Hradiště. It lies on the border between the Vizovice Highlands and Lower Morava Valley. The highest point is the hill Hluboček at above sea level. The Olšava River flows through the town and then flows into the Morava, which forms the northern border of the municipal territory.
