Jevišovka is located about 33 kilometres (21 mi) west of Břeclav and 42 km (26 mi) south of Brno. It is situated in the Dyje–Svratka Valley. It lies on the confluence of the Jevišovka and Thaya rivers.
The first written mention of Jevišovka is from 1353. The village was founded by German colonists in the early 13th century. From the late 14th century until 1848, Jevišovka was property of the House of Liechtenstein as a part of the Drnholec estate.[2]
In the past a large Moravian Croat community lived in the village.[2] In 1930, Croats made 74% and Germans 17% of the population.
