Like many nearby towns, its roots are very ancient. The first mentions of Tłumaczów appear in the Middle Ages, when the settlement developed in the shadow of nearby trade routes leading to the Czech Republic. For centuries, it was a typical Sudeten village—agrarian, but also associated with crafts and raw material extraction. In the 19th century, the area began to industrialize, and the proximity of Nowa Ruda and the region's natural resources influenced the development of the local economy.

A railway line from Ścinawka Średnia to Otovice on the Czech side also ran through the area, opening in 1889. A relic of this line is a truss railway bridge resembling a Western. During this time, railway companies, among others, operated here. Water mills, quarries, a distillery, and a customs office, indicating that it was a town with considerable economic activity. After World War II, like many places in Lower Silesia, Tłumaczów changed its face – new residents arrived, and history began to be written anew.
