The first written mention of Velké Pavlovice is from 1252, when the settlement gave tithes from vineyards to the newly founded Cistercian abbey in Žďár nad Sázavou. It frequently changed its owners. During the Thirty Years' War, Velké Pavlovice was one of the worst damaged villages in the region. The village recovered in the first half of the 18th century. In 1891 Velké Pavlovice was promoted to a market town by Emperor Franz Joseph. In 1967, it became a town.[2]
