The name derives from komora (in the sense of royal or aristocratic property, rent or income), referring to the land on which the villagers dwelt.

Other records indicate that the land (or parts of it) was owned by Wenceslas II (until 1304), the Scholastic Dobeš (until 1332), the Zbraslav monastery (until 1436), George of Poděbrady until 1470)) and Václav Šturm of Hyršfeldu (who added the title seat to the village, after 1589).

In the meantime, the Komořany cadastral municipality was created, and in the 19th century, they formed a shared political community with Točná.

The headquarters of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute is located in the south-eastern part of Komořany, next to the chateau and the Šabatka estate.

[4] Railway line 210 passes through Komořany on the right bank of the Vltava, connecting Prague with Vrané nad Vltavou.

A spur line to the Sigma Modřany industrial park carried passenger traffic during a brief period in 1995 while Komořanská street was under reconstruction.
