The first written mention of Hodíškov is from 1417. In the 15th century, Hodíškov was owned by the Konáč family. As of 1653, Hodíškov consisted of eight farms. The village was part of the Žďár estate until 1850 when it gained independence. From 1813 to 1945, the Linsbauer family was the most prominent family in Hodíškov.[2]
