Lyssa was first mentioned in the 11th century. At that time, Prince Jaromír is said to have been imprisoned and blinded on the mountain Šibák on the orders of his brother . Lysá has been held by several noble families throughout history, including the Bohemian royal family of the Přemyslids .

Nová Lysá was first mentioned in documents in 1291. Queen Guta von Habsburg then combined the individual goods into a whole. A town grew out of the settlement and in 1293 the administration was moved from Stará Lysá to Nová Lysá.

The historical highlights of the place were the armed uprising in 1625, during the re-Catholicization . The population, like most of Central Europe, was Protestant. Although the Protestants burned their houses before the arrival of the imperial army and fled to Protestant-ruled principalities, where they u. a. Founded the village of Lissa in Electoral Saxony in 1630 , and in 1781, after the patent of tolerance was issued, non-Catholics lived in the local underground. A direct reaction to the tolerance patent was the establishment of the Reformed Church in 1783, which has continued to reside in the historical buildings since 1918 as the college of the Bohemian brothers .

The city was also ravaged by the robber Wenceslaus Babinsky . On the night of May 1, 1830, he and a gang of seven raided Jan Paul's house.

The coins of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia were minted in a furniture factory in Lysá nad Labem .

The city is a member of the Polabí microregion .
