The toponym Mokrá Hora probably comes from the founder of the village, who probably was Jan Josef Noss von Nossberg.

[3][5] Mokrá Hora belonged to the free court in neighboring Jehnice since the Middle Ages.

In order to provide labor on this estate, a settlement was established in the southern part of the fields belonging to the free court around the road from Řečkovice to Jehnice.

[4] Its creation can be dated to the years 1725–1740; it was probably founded in the first half of the 1830s by the then owner of the farm, Jan Josef Noss von Nossberg, from whom it apparently got its name.

His son Aloys I donated all of Jehnice and Mokrá Hora to knight Haymerle, creating a small independent estate.

[6] At the turn of the 20s and 30s of the 18th century, a vogt and a burgomaster are documented in Mokrá Hora, so the settlement was managed separately within the estate.

In 1907, the Okrašlovací spolek (society) was founded here, which not only took care of the local cultural life, but also devoted itself to other activities.

Thanks to it, benches for hikers were installed in the surrounding forests, built a river swimming pool on the Rakovec stream in 1911, and in 1919 participated in the creation of a monument to those who died in the World War I.

[14] The final battles of World War II did not affect Mokrá Hora much, even though Jehnice itself was considerably damaged by them in May 1945.

[19] In the second half of the 1940s, proposals for the independence of the village appeared again, and in 1949 Mokrá Hora residents finally spoke out for separation from Jehnice.

[14] On January 1, 1953, Mokrá Hora became an independent municipality[20] and at the same time its current cadastral territory was created, which was separated from the southern part of Jehnice.

[35] The village is located on the slope of a promontory above the confluence of Rakovec and Ponávka,[5] on the western edge of the distinctive wooded ridge of the Drahany highlands, facing south towards Brno.

[41] The entirety of Mokrá Hora was almost exclusively Czech-speaking for a long time, the number of German speakers was minimal even until 1945.

[44] From the 17th century, a pilgrimage route from Řečkovice to Vranov led through Mokrá Hora, along which there were several small sacral monuments (statues, divine torment).

At the bend in the road (today's Tumaňanova street) towards Jehnice, from the 1880s at the latest, there was a baroque statue of St. Francis of Paola, apparently originating from the Vranov monastery, where it was returned around 1970 (it stands next to the church by the bell tower).

In 1872, a one-class school was established in the village in Jehnice, which was also intended for pupils from Orešín and Mokrá Hora.

Due to the increase in the number of pupils, a new three-classroom school was built at the southern edge of Jehnice in 1895, which was later expanded.

[49] In 2020, the whole district was part of the area of the Paraplíčko Kindergarten in Brno and the Horácké náměstí elementary school in Řečkovice.

[54] The nearest railway stop is Brno-Řečkovice, located on the Brno-Havlíčkův Brod line, 1 km from Mokrá Hora.
