In Waldemars II's earth book of 1240, the market town founded near the village of Saxtorp is listed as Saxakopingh. The church was built around 1250, but its tower is from the 19th century. From 1289 to 1315, the future King Christopher II of Denmark resided in Sakskøbing as Duke of Lolland and Falster.

In one of the Danish-Swedish wars , Saksköbing was burned down by Swedish soldiers in 1658 and only had 272 inhabitants in 1672. More major fires struck the place in the 18th century and in 1800. The Latin school was closed in 1740.

In 1779 a post office was set up. In 1829 a small shipyard was founded. In 1874 the station on the Nykøbing F – Nakskov railway line was opened. From 1910 to 1991 the place owned a sugar refinery.
