Historyedit
The first written mention of Kunvald is from 1382. From 1584, it was a separate estate. In 1947, Kunvald was renamed Kunín. From 1975 to 1990, Kunín was an administrative part of Nový Jičín. Since 1991, it has been a separate municipality.[2]
The municipality is connected with a significant dairy company Mlékárna Kunín. The production started here at the end of the 19th century. In 2004, the production was moved to Ostrava while the headquarters stayed here. Since 2007, the company is owned by Lactalis corporation.[5]
