History: Originally the monarch´s village was ceded to Saint Peter´s Church in Brno by King Wenceslas I in 1237. Since 1259 it was administered by the Cistercian Convent in Tišnov. After cancellation of the convent in 1872 it was under the state administration, after that it became a property of the Lords of Munda and consequently became a part of Veveří dominion. In 1971 it became a part of Brno City, since 1990 it has been a municipal district.

The coat of arms of the district draws on a preserved print of the original seal. On a blue Gothic shield a bare foot can be seen which allegedly gave rise to the district´s name and two grapes of vine, which used to be grown on the slopes surrounding the district since time immemorial. The graphic image of the coat of arms was designed by the architect Jan Rajlich and the symbol was officially approved in 1991.
