The first written mention of Ostrožská Nová Ves is from 1258, when it was called Dlouhá Ves. During the Hussite Wars, the village became abandoned. In 1464, after it was resettled, the village was named Nová Ves ('new village'). The village was burned down during the Austro-Turkish War in 1663 and during the Rákóczi's War of Independence in 1703–1704.[4]

Until 1924, the municipality was called Nová Ves u Ostrohu, then it was renamed Ostrožská Nová Ves. In 1949, the municipality of Chyjice was annexed to Ostrožská Nová Ves.[5]
