Sedliště was mentioned among villages obliged to pay tithe to the Episcopate
of Wroclav (1305). Therefore, Sedliště had to be founded in the second
half of the 13th century. Land and Duties Register of 1636 mentioned that
most ponds in the Manor of Frýdek were located in Sedliště. There were
seven ponds and each of them had its name. The most important sight is
the wooden church (kostel Všech svatých) built in 1638. During the
World War II an illegal group named called Odboj domoviny was active in
the village. Inhabitants (31-12-2001): 1202

Staré Město, Frýdek-Místek, Moravosilesian region in Czechia. Flag adopted
17 Oct 1997. No CoA found. 1185 inhabitans. The village was first mentioned
in the Deed issued by Vavřinec, Bishop of Wroclav. He was the owner of
the Manor of Těšín. Based on the Deed issued on 25 and 27 May 1223 he credited
the episcopal tithe from the village named Na Gemnici (Na Jamnici, being
Staré Město now). Jamnice was a part of Land of Silesia, Kingdom of Bohemia.
Before 1393 after construction of the Frýdek chateau a new town - Frýdek
- was founded. The village Jamnice was renamed Staré Město. Frýdek was
granted the mile right. This means that nobody was allowed to work in craft
within a mile distance from Frýdek-Místek. Therefore, the village lost
its importance.
