Trojanovice is a municipality and village in Nový Jičín District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,800 inhabitants.

Geography

Trojanovice is located about 18 kilometres (11 mi) southeast of Nový Jičín and 30 km (19 mi) south of Ostrava. It lies in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids mountain range. The highest point is the Radhošť mountain at 1,129 m (3,704 ft) above sea level, the summit of which lies on the southern municipal border. The Lomná River flows through the municipality.

History

The colonization of the area of Trojanovice by Vlachs began in the 16th century, when it belonged to Frenštát pod Radhoštěm. It was settled mostly by pastoralists. In 1748, it separated from Frenštát pod Radhoštěm as a self-governing municipality.[2]

Between 1850 and 1900, almost 500 inhabitants of Trojanovice moved abroad, especially to Texas; their descendants live in Fayetteville, Weimar, Hostyn, Dubina or nearby.[2][3]
