The first written mention of the oldest part of town Počaply comes from the year 1302, the royal court itself was first mentioned in 1394, when King Wenceslaus IV was captured there by his aristocratic followers.

In the first half of the 13th century, Wenceslas I had a medieval court built there, which was converted into a Renaissance castle by the Lobkowitzers in 1585 . The place became the center of the sovereigns and remained so until 1848. In 1850 the four districts were merged.

In 1860 the Fürstenberg Princely House bought the land and began expanding the iron and steel works. At the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century, new settlements for workers and employees were built and the population grew continuously.

The congregation remained independent until 1980, when it was added to Beroun and again independent in 1990. Zahořany was incorporated in 2003.
