The first written mention of Dětřichov nad Bystřicí is from 1317. Before 1410, the village became part of the Šternberk estate. It remained so until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850. Krahulčí was a separate municipality until 1960, when it was annexed to Dětřichov nad Bystřicí.[2]
In 1938, after the Munich Agreement, the municipality was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as a part of Reichsgau Sudetenland. The German speaking population was expelled in 1945 according to the Beneš decrees and replaced by Czech settlers.

The main landmark of Dětřichov nad Bystřicí is the Church of Saint George. It was built in the Neoclassical style in 1766–1767, when it replaced an older wooden church. In the first half of the 19th century, it was modified to its present form.[2] [4]
