History The first written mention of Jablonné is from 1304 as Gablona. It was founded in the second half of the 13th century, probably in 1285, when the Lanšperk estate was donated to Zavis of Falkenstein by King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia.

In the first half of the 14th century Jablonné belonged to Zbraslav Monastery. From 1409 to 1453 Jablonné formed a small separate estate. In 1453, it was acquired by the Kostka of Postupice family and merged again with Lanšperk estate. In 1507, Jablonné was bought by the Pernštejn family and in 1508, it was promoted to a market town.

In 1588, Jablonné was acquired by the Hřán family, and sold to Karl I, Prince of Liechtenstein in 1622. His descendants held possession of Jablonné until 1918. In 1874, the railway was built, which started the economical development of the market town. In 1906, Jablonné was promoted to a town.
