The first written mention of Tišnov is from 1233, in a charter of thePorta coeli Convent in neighbouringPředklášteří. Tišnov was originally a market village located on an important trade route. It was owned by theCistercian convert until its dissolution in 1782. Already in the 13th century, Tišnov developed into a small town.[3]
In 1416, KingWenceslaus IV granted Tišnov the right to hold an annual market. It was burned down during theHussite Wars in 1428 and damaged by theThirty Years' War. It was also damaged by fires several times, the largest fire occurred in 1668. In 1788, Tišnov was promoted to a town. The town was affected by the passage ofNapoleonic troops in 1805 and 1809, and by theAustro-Prussian War in 1866.[3]
A railway line connecting Tišnov toBrno was constructed in 1885, and in 1905 the track was extended toHavlíčkův Brod.[3] Until 1918, Tišnov was a part ofAustria-Hungary, in the district with the same name, one of the 34Bezirkshauptmannschaften inMoravia.[4]
From 1918 to the 1930s, the town experienced economic and construction growth. The town's debt has slowed down further development, which did not occur again until afterWorld War II.[3]
