History
The first written mention of the village dates back to 1113, when the upper part of the village called Račice was mentioned, which today forms the upper part of the current village. Dvorníky are already mentioned in the in 1249. By merging both parts of the village in 1960, the current village of Nitrica was created.No written reports have been preserved about the development of the village. It is known from the oral narratives of older people that the inhabitants here were engaged in agriculture, small-scale trade and selling fruit, and in the earliest times also selling clay vessels that they made themselves. The main source of livelihood for the local population was fruit growing associated with trade. After the first merchants from Račíce and Dvorník, the local nickname "korenári" is used to this day - after the merchants who traded in spices, mainly saffron.
