The first written mention of Stod comes from the year 1235, when King Wenceslaus I gave the place to the Chotěšov Monastery . In 1315 Johann von Luxemburg made Stod a market town. By Charles IV. The place was 1,363 more privileges, such as the judiciary and the right to use a city seal and guidance of city books. In 1544, Stod was granted the privilege to build a malt house and a brewery. In 1547 a post office was built and in 1550 Ferdinand I granted the holding of a fair . The development of the area was thrown back by the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War. From the berní rula it emerges that the deserted place had only about 230 inhabitants in 1654. For the repopulation of the area, German families from Bavaria and the Tepler highlands were settled.

In 1850 Staab, which at that time had grown to 1,500 inhabitants, received city rights. The city in the political district of Mies became the seat of a district court. In 1900 the city had 2,470 inhabitants, 2,273 of whom were German and 179 Czech. At the beginning of the 20th century there was a malt factory and two beer breweries in the city .

After the First World War , Staab was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Due to the Munich Agreement , the city came to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the district of Mies , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland until 1945 . After the Second World War , the German residents were largely expelled .

In 1949 the city became a district town, with the territorial reform of 1960 it lost this status again and became part of the Okres Plzeň-jih .
