History
The first written mention of the city was in 1383.
On the night of June 24–25, 2009, the village was hit by a sudden flood caused by a consecutive series of violent cloudbursts. Three people were killed and it caused extensive damage.[1][2] Jesenik nad Odra was the area in the Czech Republic most affected by these floods.
In 2013, the village was named Village of the Year.[3]
