Návsí

Návsí (Polish: Nawsieⓘ, German: Nawsi) is a municipality and village in Frýdek-Místek District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.

The name is derived from náves or nawsie, which denotes an empty part of a village customarily used as a common pasture.

In the northern part of the municipality is situated the mountain meadow of Filipka and the Rohovec forest, both protected as nature monuments.

[4] The first verified written mention of Návsí is from 1435, when Wenceslaus I, Duke of Cieszyn gave a privilege to Paweł Sikora to establish a farming community.

[3] The Sikora family was very rich in regional conditions and gradually owned a mill and a mile here and gained abandoned lands.

[3] According to the censuses conducted in 1880–1910 the population of the municipality grew from 1,412 in 1880 to 2,249 in 1910 with a majority being native Polish-speakers (between 94.7% and 97.7%) accompanied by German-speaking (at most 74 or 4% in 1900) and Czech-speaking people (at most 17 or 0.9% in 1900).

Following the Munich Agreement, in October 1938 together with the Trans-Olza region it was annexed by Poland, administratively adjoined to Cieszyn County of Silesian Voivodeship.
