They gradually merged into one village and the last mention of Martiničky appeared in 1495. For most of its history, Martinice was a part of the Velké Meziříčí estate. In the mid-17th century, the village consisted of 17 houses. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the village expanded by building smaller houses.[2]
