The first mention of Předměřice took place in 1376. In 1586 the village was affected by a plague epidemic together with Lochenice .

In 1836 the village Předmeřitz , located in the Königgrätzer Kreis , consisted of 113 houses with 663 inhabitants. There was an inn and three mills in the village. The old mill with a board saw and the new mill were located at the junction of the Elbe ditch from the Elbe, the Budiner mill below it on the ditch. Parish was Lochenitz . Until the middle of the 19th century the village remained subordinate to the Imperial and Royal Königgrätz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Předměřice formed from 1850 a municipality in the judicial district of Königgrätz . In 1856 the railway line was built west of the village and on October 3, 1857 the first train drove from Pardubitz to Reichenberg. The village suffered damage from the military during the German War. On July 3, 1866, the Battle of Königgrätz took place a few kilometers west of the Chlum and Svíb . From 1868 the village belonged to the Königgrätz district . In 1871, the "United peasant sugar factory Predmeritz" was founded, with a 59 m high octagonal chimney towered over the village. In 1913 a weir with a guard's house in the cubist style was built according to the plans of the builder Pavel Janák , which was destroyed in 1932 by the spring floods of the Elbe. Since 1919 the place bears the official name affix "nad Labem" to distinguish it from a municipality of the same name . Between 1915 and 1925 the river Elbe was regulated. In 1948 the sugar factory was nationalized. From 1949 to 1960 the municipality was assigned to the Okres Hradec Králové-okolí. Since January 1st, 1961 it belongs again to the Okres Hradec Králové.
