History
According to archaeological finds, there was a Slavic settlement already in the 6th–7th century. At the end of the 9th century, a gord was built here. The first written mention of Libušín is from 1052. In 1277, it was donated to the Ostrov Monastery in Davle by King Ottokar II. In 1514, the Martinic family bought Libušín and owned it until the 20th century. In 1775, bituminous coal was found near Libušín. The coal mining in the municipal territory started in 1885, when the first of three mines in Libušín was opened. The coal mining increased the town's population and accelerated its development. In 1919, Libušín became a town, but it lost the town status for the period 1961–2006.
