In 1786, the settlement of Juliánov was established on the land of the abolished Julia court, which belonged to the Zábrdovice monastery until 1784, in the area of today's Vančura Street, which became an independent municipality in 1787; however, it continued to form part of the cadastral territory of Židenice.

On April 16, 1919, most of the territory of the modern city district was annexed to Brno, including the then municipalities of Juliánov, Židenice and the cadastral territories of Černovice and Maloměřice, while from 1920 until the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, these 4 former municipalities had their own local committees within Brno limited powers.

In the years 1971–1979, the original village core of Židenice, which was the street Stará osada and its surroundings, was demolished, on the site of which a new panel housing estate of the same name was built.

At the same time, the last remnants of the former mill drive of Svitavská strouha, which formed the border between Židenice and Zábrdovice until the second half of the 1960s, were buried.

In the years 1975–1979, at the expense of street development, a stretch of a large urban ring road was built across the densely populated part of the territory of the current city district.

[2] During the Velvet Revolution, Civic Forum committees were activated in various parts of the modern city district, demanding an urgent solution to long-unsolved local problems.

In terms of further development, larger projects are also being considered, such as the construction of a new swimming pool at Viniční street.

[3] In 2017, the Bohumil Hrabal park with a fruit alley began to emerge on the slope of the Židenice hill in the horticultural colony.

In the Zábrdovice part of the city, there is also an extensive area of the once famous Zbrojovka Brno factory on the banks of the Svitava.

The LeRK shopping center is also located in the northeast of the city, offering floor coverings and consumer electronics.

However, this road, which is often congested on working days, also has a negative impact on the quality of living in the surrounding houses.

Another important route offering a direct connection with Brno-Líšeň is the four-lane road on Jedovnická street, passing around the area of the Brno incinerator.
