The first written mention of Starý Poddvorov is from 1704, when the local winemakers started to build houses here and received land in the area of extinct village Potvorov from the Jesuits. After the Jesuit Order was abolished in 1773, it became a part of the Hodonín estate in 1783. Since 1867, it has been a sovereign municipality.[2]
