History
The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known as Upper Silesia. The first written mention of Bruzovice is in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from 1305 as Bruschowitz.{{cite book |last=Panic|first=Idzi|author-link=Idzi Panic|title=Śląsk Cieszyński w średniowieczu (do 1528)|trans-title=Cieszyn Silesia in Middle Ages (until 1528)|url=https://cieszynskie.travel/lfm/files/3/Historia/Ducat2_2.pdf|publisher=Starostwo Powiatowe w Cieszynie|location=Cieszyn|pages=297–299|language=pl|isbn=978-83-935147-8-6|date=2015}}
Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen and was ruled by a local branch of Piast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy.
The village became a seat of a Catholic parish, mentioned in the register of Peter's Pence payment from 1447 among 50 parishes of Teschen deaconry as Bransowicz.{{cite journal |title= Registrum denarii sancti Petri in archidiaconatu Opoliensi sub anno domini MCCCCXLVII per dominum Nicolaum Wolff decretorum doctorem, archidiaconum Opoliensem, ex commissione reverendi in Christo patris ac domini Conradi episcopi Wratislaviensis, sedis apostolice collectoris, collecti|journal=Zeitschrift des Vereins für Geschichte und Alterthum Schlesiens|publisher=H.

In 1573 it was sold as one of 16 villages and the town of Friedeck and formed a state country split from the Duchy of Teschen.{{cite book |last=Panic|first=Idzi|author-link=Idzi Panic|title=Śląsk Cieszyński w początkach czasów nowożytnych (1528-1653)|trans-title=Cieszyn Silesia in the beginnings of Modern Era (1528-1653)|publisher=Starostwo Powiatowe w Cieszynie|year=2011|location=Cieszyn|page=224|language=pl|isbn=978-83-926929-5-9}}
After World War I and fall of Austria-Hungary, the municipality became a part of Czechoslovakia. In March 1939 it became a part of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. After World War II, it was restored to Czechoslovakia.
