It has about 1,300 inhabitants.
Etymology
The village was named after its founder Sudomír.
Geography
Sudoměřice is located about 9 km east of Hodonín and 58 km southeast of Brno, on the border with Slovakia. It lies mostly in a flat landscape of the Lower Morava Valley, only the eastern tip of the municipal territory extends into the White Carpathians mountain range. The highest point is at 265 m above sea level.
The Radějovka stream (here part of the Baťa Canal) flows through the municipality. The stream Sudoměřický potok flows along the Czech-Slovak border (and partly forms the border) until it joins the Radějovka. The eastern half of the municipal territory lies within the White Carpathians Protected Landscape Area.
History
The village was founded probably in 1262 by Sudomír Tvrdišovec, who was the chamberlain of King Ottokar II. The first written mention of Sudoměřice is from 1368, when it was bought by Beneš of Kravaře. The village suffered greatly from the invasions of troops from Hungary, the Thirty Years' War, and the invasions of Turks and Tatars in the second half of the 17th century.
