History

The first written mention of Janovice is in a deed of Bolesław II, Duke of Cieszyn from 1450 as Janowicze. It was a part of the Frýdek estate within the Duchy of Teschen.[2][3] In 1573 it was sold as one of 16 villages and the town of Friedeck and formed a state country split from the Duchy of Teschen.[4]

After World War I and fall of Austria-Hungary, the municipality became a part of Czechoslovakia. In March 1939, it became a part of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. After World War II it was restored to Czechoslovakia.
