The first written record of Královo Pole comes from 1240, as a village (or literally a field) belonging to the king. ACarthusian monastery was established here in late 14th century.
Rapid development took place during the second half of the 19th century. It was started by the building of a sugar mill, followed by other industries, especially theKrálovopolská machine works. In 1885, Královo Pole was connected to the railway. In 1905 the settlement became a town (city). Soon after theWorld War I it became a part ofBrno. While the oldest part of Královo Pole down at thePonávka brook retained its village look, the newly built-up area on a slope ascending westwards developed a cohesive urbanistic structure centered in the Slovanské náměstí ("TheSlavic Square"), with Art Nouveau city blocks and functionalistic family houses.
After World War II there was another development, housing estates were built south and later also north around. The railway with the station were relocated and some adjacent streets and blocks were rearranged.
Královo Pole borders the cadastral territories ofMedlánky andŘečkovice to the north,Sadová andLesná to the northeast,Černá Pole to the southeast,Ponava to the south, andŽabovřesky andKomín to the west.
The cadastral territory of Královo Pole is further divided into 11 basic settlement units.
