The first written mention of Kamenka was in 1362 as part of the Odry reign . The place was probably founded in the first half of the 13th century and originally consisted of the forest hoof villages Velká Kamenka and Malá Kamenka, which grew together over time. In 1604, the residents of Kamitz joined the complaint of the subjects of the entire estate against the new robot introduced by the landlord Jan Bohuš von Zwole on the Kamitz Meierhof . In 1668, a wooden chapel was built as thanks for being saved from the plague. The oldest local seal is from 1717, it shows a shovel standing upright between two palm branches. A windmill was built in 1801 at the height northwest of the village. In 1828 the stone chapel of St. Trinity built.

In 1834 the village of Kamitz consisted of 77 mostly wooden houses lined up in three alleys, in which 616 German-speaking people lived. The main source of income was arable farming, which was not very profitable due to the stony soil, and 649 yoke of stately forests belonged to the village. There was a chapel and a school in the village. The parish was Dörfel . Until the middle of the 19th century, Kamitz remained subject to the Oderau minority.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kamitz / Kaménka formed a municipality in the judicial district of Odrau from 1849 . From 1869 Kamitz belonged to the Troppau district. At that time the village had 574 inhabitants and consisted of 83 houses. In the years 1881–1882 the district road from Odrau via Kamitz to Wigstadtl was built. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1883. In 1893 a new school building was built for the one-class elementary school, which was expanded in 1907 for two-class lessons. In 1900 there were 563 people living in Kamitz ; In 1910 there were 547. The Czech place name Kaménka was changed to Kamenka in 1920.

After the end of World War II, Kamenka returned to Czechoslovakia, most of the German-speaking residents were expelled in 1946 and the village was repopulated.
