The first written mention of Plaňany is from 1222, under its old name Plaňasy. In 1421 and 1424, the village was burned down by the Hussites, then it was looted by the army of King George of Poděbrady in 1448. Probably in 1572, during the rule of the Mírek of Solopysky family, the village was promoted to a market town.
