The first written mention of Kolinec is from 1290. It was probably founded as a settlement of gold panners. Until the mid-14th century, it was owned by Bohemian queens, then it was granted to the Lords of Velhartice. In 1506, Kolinec became property of Zdeněk Lev of Rožmitál, during whose reign great development occurred.
