History
The village was built in about 1880 in the Chabičov-town land register, and it was considered its administrative part until 1922. By the unification Chabičov and another town called Smolkov, Háj ve Slezsku officially became an independent town, and the four towns became administrative parts. Jilešovice and Lhota u Opavy were connected in 1976 and 1979, respectively.
Trivia

- For several years the town has celebrated its citizens and people from surrounding areas in an annual festival called Rozmarné léto, after Vančura’s best known novel.
