The first written mention of Vrbětice dates back to 1318.[2] Although Vrbětice is in the immediate vicinity of Vlachovice, the village has always belonged to the Hošťálková rule and was at no time subject to Vlachovice. Serf conditions in Vrbětice were very mild. With the exception of forest work, its residents were exempt from forced labour.[3] In the 1620 land register, a hereditary bailiff is documented for the first time in Vrbětice.[4]
In 1850, after the abolition of patrimonial, Vrbětice formed a municipality in the district administration Uherský Brod and the judicial district Valašské Klobouky.[5] The first school was built here in 1882.[6]
In 2014, a series of explosions occurred in a military warehouse in Vrbětice. Presumably, the explosion was caused by the Russian GRU agents.[7]
In 1880 the population of the village was 410 people. Since then, the population has mostly stagnated. As of 2011, 341 people lived in the village.[1]
