The municipality is situated on both banks of the stream Voldušský potok, which bisects the territory into two parts.
The first written mention of Litohlavy is from 1390.[2] It belonged to the Rokycany domain from 1498 until 1850. In the 19th century, some iron ore mining developed in the territory of Litohlavy, however the village had mostly rural economy. In 1980–1994, Litohlavy was an administrative part of Rokycany.[3]
