Hodonín was first mentioned in 1046. In 1228 it became a town. In 1850 Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of independent Czechoslovakia, was born there.

In the vicinity of the town there is an oil field and a stratum of lignite, which was formerly transported to the town of Otrokovice, a few kilometers from the city of Zlín, by a special water channel known as the Baťův kanál. It was built by the famous Czech entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa and now operates as a tourist attraction.
