First mentioned in 1405 as belonging to the Crown of Saint Wenceslas (Bohemia)
- In 1655, the locality was acquired by Silvius Nimrod von Würtemberg-Oels,
Prince
of the Duchy of Oels (Księstwo Oleśnickie - Herzogtum Oels - Ducatus
Olsnensis)
- 1663 - city rights
- 1676 - renamed Juliusburg and received a CoA, which, since 2003, once
again represents the commune.
- 1742 - end of Bohemian overlordship and beginning of the Prussian rule.
- 1792 - expiration of local Würtemberg dynasty - Duchy of Oels taken by
the Braunschweigs.
- 1884 - part of Duchy of Oels (with Juliusburg) goes to Friedrich
August von Wettin, future king of Saxony,
whose descendants own Juliusburg until 1945.

New Arms and flag were adopted on May 6, 2003.
Designed by Mr.Michal Kozuchowski and based on the original CoA of 1676.
NB: it isn't made clear anywhere, but I do believe there is a plain
yellow and red horizontal flag
used as a civic one, and another, with the CoA as the ceremonial (official)
one.
