The first documented mention of Herult dates back to April 8, 1386. Margrave Wilhelm I von Meißen assigned the rule of Scharfenstein with associated villages, including Herold, as a widow's residence to the widow Anargs von Waldenburg . In 1817 August Schumann mentions Herold in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony concerning a. a .:
“It has 43 houses […] and 273 inhabitants. The village belongs to the newly written Rittergute Thum and is parish after Drebach. Among the buildings is the manorial. Donate with the brewery and drapery, which is also the Accise recipient; a grinding mill with 2 gears and oil mill in Oberherold, (which burned down on October 15, 1810) and a grinding mill with 1 gear and cutting mill in Nieder-Herold, where the manorial. Kalkbruchhaus is located. Among the inhabitants are 12 farmers, all of them Viertelhüfner , zu Ober-Herold and 25 cottagers to Ober-, as well as 3 cottagers to Nieder-Herold. The place has a Mahlrichter with 2 scoops, 1 church ruler in Drebach and 2 community rulers. The inhabitants have 4 horses, 14 oxen and 36 cows; they are occupied with 175 viable shocks, 3 magazine, 3 tension, 4½ march and 4½ church hooves. According to a privilege granted by Elector Johann Georg on January 21, 1684, the place has the right to hold a fair every year on October 15 (or Mondays after Burkhard). [...] It is handsome and very popular. [...] In Nieder-Herold there are various stately limestone quarries with two lime kilns . The previous limestone quarries of this place were very famous, but have died out in modern times. They completely replace the newly discovered ones. In the earliest times Herold also had a few ore mines, but these remain because of the lack of a union. This means that the local residents' manual work in spinning yarn to make bobbin thread for the publishers in Drebach. "
In 1862 the construction of the church "Zum Heiligen Kreuz" began, which was consecrated in 1864. The design came from fire insurance inspector Karl Friedrich Emil Gutwasser from Zwickau . The three glass windows showing Christ, Paul and Peter were created by Paul Händler . The construction of the church and the independence of the Herolder parish were primarily made possible by the boom in the cotton mill in Venusberg and the associated increase in population. Since 1949 there have been two steel bells and a small bronze bell from 1864 in the tower. The organ was built between 1865 and 1869 by the master organ builder Carl Eduard Schubert , and was extensively renovated in the 1980s.
With the construction and opening of the Wilischthal – Thum narrow-gauge railway , Herold received a railway connection with the stations "Unter-", "Mittel-" and "Oberherold". Until 1906, Oberherold was the starting point for a branch line to Ehrenfriedersdorf, on May 4, 1942, the name was changed to "Herold (Erzgeb)". On May 29, 1972, operations on this line were stopped and the track systems were later dismantled. In Oberherold there are still a reception building, goods shed, locomotive shed and a wooden free pass. The "IG Schmalspurbahn Thumer Netz" e. V. tries to preserve these contemporary witnesses.
On January 1, 1999, the previously independent communities Herold and Jahnsbach merged with the city of Thum.
