The place was first mentioned in a document in 1459. In 1462 Sulkovec came under the rule of Pernstein . After the Lords of Pernstein sold the village together with eleven other villages in the area in 1590, Sulkovec was attached to the Kunstadt rule , to which it belonged until 1848. During the Thirty Years War, the village was completely reduced to rubble by the Swedes in 1645. The first school building was built in 1720 as a simple wooden structure.
After the abolition of patrimonial Sulkovec formed from 1850 a municipality in the Boskovice district . In 1949 the community came to Okres Bystřice nad Pernštejnem. In 1961 Polom was incorporated and the municipality was assigned to the Okres Žďár nad Sázavou . In 1964 Ubušínek was added as a district.
