[2] On the territory of the modern-day area of Brno-Maloměřice an Obřany there was a significant settlement as early as the time of the Great Moravia.

[3] The territory of the modern town originally belonged mainly to the cadastral territories of Maloměřice an Obřany, but the peripheral parts also belonged to Židenice, Husovice, Bílovice nad Svitavou (the forest above the right bank of the Svitava valley) and Kanice.

The villages of Maloměřice, Ořany, Husovice, Juliánov and Židenice were annexed to Brno on April 16, 1919, but the lands originally belonging to Bílovice nad Svitavou and Kanice were annexed to Brno at the end of the 1960s.

During this reambulation, almost all current sections of the borders of these cadastral territories were also newly established.

[citation needed] People from Maloměřice were called čučkaři because lentils were grown here, and fazuláci to the inhabitants of Obřany because they grew beans.

There was no change in the ownership of the non-Brno peripheral lands at the time and they were still part of the municipalities of Bílovice nad Svitavou and Kanice.

[citation needed] 1954–1957 – administrative boundaries remained the same as in the previous period in the territory of the modern city districts of Brno-Maloměřice an Obřany.

During this period, however, as part of the reambulation, the border of Brno was changed, which in the case of the Maloměřice district meant the annexation of land that previously belonged to the municipalities of Kamenice and Bílovice nad Svitavou.

[citation needed] The coat of arms is a horizontally bisected Gothic shield, in the upper field of which there are Maloměřice an Obřany signs on a green background, symbolized by a silver Gothic letter M and a silver winemaker's knife - kosír.

The lower field of the coat of arms consists of a golden grape, symbolizing the tradition of wine growing, placed on a blue background, which represents the river Svitava flowing through both municipalities.

[citation needed] The football teams SK Obřany and TJ MCV Brno operate in the district.
