The story
The Slavic people settled the town area probably in the 5th–6th centuries. The first written mention of Mšeno is from 1306, in a document signed by Wenceslaus III awarding the then-village to aristocrat Hynek of Dubá. He, and his son after him, ensured the growing prosperity of the area. In 1367, King Charles IV promoted Mšeno to a town.
During the Thirty Years' War the town suffered, but in the 17th and 18th centuries, it prospered and the population grew. In 1879, the railway was built, and in 1901, the school was opened.
