The town of Wylhelmycz was first mentioned in writing in 1342, when Charles IV gave the brothers Wilhelm d. Ä. and Wilhelm d. J. Pětipeský von Egerberg granted the privilege for a weekly market and at the same time allowed the exercise of high jurisdiction and the construction of a raven stone. In 1347 Wylhelmycz was elevated to a market town. The lords of Egerberg remained owners of the estate until 1384, after which Raczko von Wylhelmycz followed until 1396. Over time, the place was also referred to as Wilemow , Wylemowicz , Willmitz and Willomicz .

Until the middle of the 15th century, the owners changed several times, and then Humprecht Doupovec from Doupov ( Duppauer von Duppau ) acquired the goods. Around 1530 Wilhelm von Duppau came under suspicion of counterfeiting and was declared an enemy of the king and the country of Bohemia. After Apel von Vitzthum's mint workshop in Neuschönburg was discovered , Wilhelm von Duppau was able to restore his honor and received Willomitz back. He expanded the rule to include the villages of Flahe and Weinern. Heinrich von Duppau allowed the formation of guilds in 1584 and in 1586 he achieved the elevation of Willomitz to the city of Rudolf II . In the following year Heinrich von Duppau approved the immigration of Jews into the city.

There is evidence of a town hall since 1592. After the Battle of White Mountain , Wilhelm Adalbert von Duppau was punished in 1621 with the loss of a third of his property. The fortress and the town of Willomitz including the brewery, mill, sawmill, forests and ponds also belonged to his confiscated property. Wilhelm Adalbert died in the same year. In 1623 Jan Zdenko Wratislaw von Mitrowitz bought the Willomitz estate. During the Thirty Years War, the city was almost completely destroyed by three fires. In 1662 Polyxena acquired Maria Freiin von Ratschin Willomitz. During this time the city was rebuilt. Leopold I. confirmed all old privileges in 1665. In 1687 the new town hall was completed.

At the beginning of the 18th century a fire destroyed the church and the rectory; the church archive was also lost. After the barons von Ratschin, the gentlemen von der Goltz followed Maschau during this period . After Ernst Johann von der Goltz died in 1792 without heirs, Willomitz Vojtěch Mladota von Solopysk fell to. The Mladota of Solopisk had Maschau and Willomitz sale to Gabriele von Dietrichstein in 1835. Subsequently, began in the vicinity of the town of Mining of lignite. In 1845 Eugen Karl Czernin von and zu Chudenitz acquired Maschau and Willomicz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Willomicz / Vilémov formed a municipality in the Kaaden district from 1850 . In 1873 a new school was inaugurated. From 1873 onwards, the economic crisis largely brought mining to a standstill. In 1884 the Kaschitz- Schönhof local railway was extended via Willomicz to Radonitz . In 1902 the Kaadner Lokalbahnen started operating the railway line from Willomitz to Duppau . The following year the Willomitz – Kaaden – Brunnersdorf line followed , at which a second station was built in Willomitz.

After the First World War , Willomitz was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . In 1923 a two-class Czech minority school was opened. In 1930 the municipality of Willomitz had 983 inhabitants. In 1936 a Czech citizen school started teaching.

Because of the Munich Agreement in 1938 came Willomitz to the German Reich and was until 1945 the district Kadan , Region of Eger , in the Reich District of Sudetenland . In 1939 the city had 882 inhabitants.

During the Second World War , a prisoner-of-war camp for French people was set up in Willomitz. After the war ended, Willomitz was taken over by Czechoslovakia and the German-Bohemian population was expelled in 1946 . Around 1948 Vilémov lost its town charter. At the beginning of 1961 the parish came to Okres Chomutov . 1976 Vinaře, Blov and Zahořany were incorporated.
