The original place was first mentioned in writing in 1256 as Zelniche and was part of the estate of Liptov Castle . The area of Sielnica used to be much larger, but over the centuries newly established localities split off. In 1463 Sielnica became a town with market rights and was now the property of Likava Castle . Furthermore, residents were exempt from all tariffs within a 12-mile radius. In 1828 there were 146 houses and 1,183 inhabitants.

Until 1918, the place in Liptov County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. As one of the first villages in Liptov, Sielnica was electrified in 1921.

The old place had to give way to the construction of the Liptau reservoir in the 1970s and was rebuilt at the current location about two kilometers north of the original place and completed in August 1974. As early as 1968, the places Liptovská Mara and Parížovce were incorporated, which also disappeared in the reservoir, but were not relocated.

From 1976 to 1992 Ižipovce was part of the municipality.
