The village was first mentioned as Uconar in a document of Cyprian, bishop of Wrocław from 1202, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.[1] The name of the village is of Polish origin and comes either from the word konar which means "branch" or from the word koń which means "horse".[2][3]
Under Prussian rule, the world's first factory for extracting sugar from sugar beets was opened in 1802 in Konary (then known as Kunern).[4]
