The first written mention of Úterý comes from the year 1233. At that time the place belonged to the Teplá Monastery and was a center of gold mining. Gold soaps were operated along the stream. The parish church of St. John the Baptist was mentioned as such as early as 1384.

Due to the Thirty Years War and the decline of mining, the city, which once had over 1000 inhabitants, lost its importance. In 1834, 834 people lived in Neumarkt. At the beginning of the 20th century the town had a brewery and sawmills .

After the First World War , Neumarkt was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Due to the Munich Agreement , Neumarkt belonged from 1938 to 1945 to the district of Tepl , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland of the German Empire .

After the Second World War , the German residents were expropriated and expelled and Wolhynientschechen settled. The place, which was named Úterý (Tuesday) after the earlier market day, could not compensate for the loss of population and in 1949 its town charter was revoked. After the Velvet Revolution , the renovation of the valuable historical building fabric, which had been severely neglected after 1945, began, and in 1992 the place was declared an urban monument zone. Since then, Úterý, which had only 369 inhabitants in 1991, has seen a sharp increase in population.

Since January 27, 2007 Úterý has been a town again.
