The first written mention of settlements in the area of Mírová pod Kozákovem is from 1230. Mírová pod Kozákovem was established in 1960 by the merger of the municipalities of Vesec (including Smrčí and Prackov), Loktuše, Sekerkovy Loučky (including Chutnovka, Dubecko, Hrachovice, Kvítkovice, and Stebno) and Bělá (including Bukovina, Chloumek, and Rohliny).[2]

There are two notable sights in the municipality.[3] In Dubecko, on the hill Dubecko with an altitude of 399m (1,309feet), there is an eponymous telecommunication tower with an observation tower. The viewing platform is located at a height 33m (108feet).[4]
In Bukovina, there are ruins of Rotštejn Castle. This Gothic castle was founded around 1250. It was a building partly brick and partly carved into a block of four sandstone rocks. In 1514, it was listed as desolate. The destruction of the castle was probably caused by the natural weathering of sandstone rocks and the subsequent decline of the terrain.[5]
