The first written mention of Radonice is from 1196, when monks came from Waldsassen Abbey at the invitation of Milhost of Mašťov.

Ojíř of Radonice (written in Latin as Hogir de Radonitz) signed his donating document as a witness.

Fates of Radonice were connected with Vintířov with a knight fortress, which was changed to a castle for a noble family.

Opl of Fictum bought the Radonice estate and Vintířov from Albrecht of Kolowrat.

It was his merit that Radonice was raised to a town by King Vladislaus II in 1514.

[3] In 1532, Albert Schlick bought the market town Radonice and Vintířov.

The mastership of Schlicks lasted for three quarters of a century and it was a time of development.

It had a brewery, a malt-house, two mills, a bath, a new pub and a town hospital.

In 1662, King Leopold I ratified the privilege of the one-mile-law for a salt and a corn.

The best known coal mine was Františka and the exploitation ended on the eve of World War II.
