History

The first written mention of Komárov is from 1263, in a deed of the Ostrov Monastery in Davle. Until 1602, it was owned by the Pešík family. The Pešík family developed the processing of iron ore mined in the area. In 1602, Komárov was bought by Jindřich Otta of Los. After his execution in 1621, Komárov was merged with the Hořovice estate and shared its owners, which lasted until 1902.[2]

In 1917, it became a market town. In 1962, the municipality of Kleštěnice was merged with Komárov.[2]
