History
The first written mention of Třebom is from 1349. Until 1582, the village was owned by various lower nobles. In 1582, it was acquired by the Lords of Vrbno, who owned it until 1621, when their property was confiscated. From 1621 to 1863, Třebom was owned by the Teutonic Order.[2]
In 1920, together with the Hlučín Region, Třebom became part of Czechoslovakia and was the only municipality in this region where the population was ethnically pure German. After World War II, most of the population was expelled.[2]
In the municipality is the road border crossing with Poland Třebom / Kietrz.
