The place was mentioned for the first time as a customs post in 1371; At that time the place was owned by the Lords of Wartenberg , who acquired the Mimoň castle and attached it to their rule of Děvín . A parish church with its own pastor was mentioned in 1384. After that, the owners changed several times, especially during the Thirty Years War .

According to historians, Wallenstein , Duke of Friedland , had the city set on fire and completely cremated in 1633 for reasons unknown. On June 11, 1806, the city was again almost completely destroyed by a fire. The church, which was built from scratch in 1663 by Baron Johannes Putz von Adlerthurn and ceremoniously consecrated in 1689, was rebuilt in 1807 and significantly expanded in the process. The wording of the Latin inscriptions that were placed inside and outside the church in the 17th century was recorded by Schaller .

The castle, which was blown up in 1985, housed an important library for Northern Bohemia with books from the period between the 16th and 19th centuries. It was founded by Adam Franz von Hartig , a member of the noble Hartig family from Silesia, who were elevated to the bohemian count in 1719. Further extensions to the holdings go back to Adam Ludwig von Hartig (1710–1738), his wife Countess Kager von Globen (1716–1759) and Franz de Paula Anton von Hartig (1758–1797). The latter worked as an envoy at the Saxon court and was able to acquire numerous books for the chateau library in Niemes / Mimoň.

The holdings later went to the National Museum in Prague. Their thematic variety is very large; it contains fictional, scientific, economic, political and philosophical monographs. In 1836, the master cloth maker Anton Schicketanz (1803–1866) founded a textile factory together with his sons, from which the successful company Anton Schicketanz und Söhne emerged , which under his grandson Ludwig Anton Schicketanz (1856–1922) became a large company in the textile industry.

From the middle of the 19th century, Niemes was the seat of a district court ( judicial district Niemes ) in the Bohemian Leipa district (Czech: Česká Lipa). At the end of the 19th century, Niemes had a factory for bent wood, cloth and cotton weaving companies, a tannery and a beer brewery. Some agriculture was practiced.

After the First World War , Niemes was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Due to the Munich Agreement Niemes belonged from 1938 to 1945 for the district German fork , Region of Usti nad Labem , in the Reich District of Sudetenland the German Reich .

During the Second World War, there was a military training camp of the Hitler Youth in Niemes . The town had a furniture factory that belonged to the German Fischel family.
