In the 18th century the place was enlarged. In 1835 a village school opened. The main occupation of the residents was weaving.
After the abolition of patrimonial, Šaplava formed a market town in the Nový Bydžov district from 1850 . In 1930 the municipality reached the highest population in its history with 286 inhabitants. Šaplava has been part of Okres Hradec Králové since 1961.
