It has a population of 1,417 (2006), 28.9% of the population are the Poles. [cite web |url= http://www.czso.cz/sldb/sldb2001.nsf/obce/556971?OpenDocument |title= 2001 census data |accessdate= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= Czech Statistical Office ] Ropičanka River flows into the Olza River in the village. It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia.

The village was first mentioned in a written document in 1305 as "Ropiza". [Hosák et al 1980, 377.] Owners of Ropica in 15th century, the Sobek family, built a fort in the village. It was rebuilt to a baroque château around 1700 and then to a classicist one in 1810. It remains in that style today, although it dilapidated during the communist era and is now completely devastated.

There is a modern golf course in Ropice.
