Długosz wrote that in 1222, Bishop of Kraków Iwo Odrowąż funded St. Michael church here, which means that the village must have existed before that year.

Daleszyce was located near two merchant routes - east-west (from Sandomierz and Opatów to Wieluń and Opole), and south-north (from Wiślica and Nowy Korczyn to Sieradz and Piotrków).

During the reign of King Casimir III the Great, Daleszyce, which was property of Bishops of Kraków, remained a village, but it had a parish church, which elevated its status.

In 1569, Bishop Filip Padniewski received from King Sigismund II Augustus permission to grant Magdeburg rights to the village of Daleszyce.

In the 18th century, Daleszyce remained a poor town, with most houses made of timber, as it was the cheapest building material.

In 1820, the town had 232 houses and 1270 inhabitants, and its role as a local trade center was taken over by the quickly developing nearby city of Kielce.

On September 5, 1939, during the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, first Wehrmacht units entered Daleszyce, burning 20% of houses.

There are multiple known instances of local Poles who were captured by the Germans for rescuing Jews and sent to prisons and forced labour camps in other locations.

The officially protected traditional food of Daleszyce and nearby villages is daleszycka szynka z beczki, a local type of smoked ham (as designated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Poland).
