The first record about the village can be found in historical documents from 1373. The name is derived from the place where stone is quarried (lom = the quarry). The inhabitants were occupied with agriculture and handcrafts. The village houses were low, with small windows, built mostly from stone or unfired bricks and covered with thatches. The Lomy Mill (Lomský mlýn) on the Želetavka River is part of the village. The municipal seal has a picture of ploughshare and three trees in the middle.
