History
Staré Hamry was founded between 1636 and 1639, which is the period from which its first land book came. Politically, it was a part of the Friedek state country, which was a part of the Kingdom of Bohemia. The first hammer mill was built in 1638 and disappeared at the end of the 17th century. The greatest development of the municipality was at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when it became a recreation area. After World War I, it became part of Czechoslovakia. In March 1939, it became part of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. After World War II, it was restored to Czechoslovakia. Initially, the village was located only on the right bank of the Ostravice, which formed the border between Czech Silesia and Moravia. In 1951, the northern part of the municipality was split from Staré Hamry and joined with Ostravice; whereas the southern part of Ostravice was split from it and joined with Staré Hamry. Both municipalities now lie on both banks of the Ostravice. In 1969, the Šance Reservoir was built.
