The first written mention of this area is in a donation deed from 1242. A settlement was founded here probably by the monastery in Vilémov. At the end of the 14th century, the ironworks were founded and the production of charcoal started. In the 15th century, the economical development occurred and in 1499, Trhová Kamenice became a market town.

On 8 May 1945, when Trhová Kamenice was under Nazi occupation, several Nazi troops were passing through the market town from Chrudim back to Nazi Germany and massacred 14 people while finding resistance partisans.
