The settlement was mentioned in 1324.[2] It was granted town rights in 1346.[3] Until 1595 it remained in private hands.[2] A trade route connecting Silesia and Bohemia ran through the town, contributing to its development.[2] Weaving and paper production developed, as well as the iron industry, but the local iron deposits quickly depleted.[2] In 1584 a town hall was built, and in 1605 a paper mill, now housing the Museum of Papermaking. The town's development was stopped by the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648).[2] In 1669 Polish King John II Casimir Vasa stopped in the town after his abdication.

In 1748 the first research on mineral springs was carried out, and in 1751 spa treatments began.[4] In 1769, the town obtained the status of a spa town. In 1822 a pump room was founded.[4] In 1826, 16-year-old Frédéric Chopin visited the spa. He was cured there and gave his first concert outside of the Russian Partition of Poland, which was also his first charity concert.[2][4] In 1877 a palm house was built with a concert hall and a reading room, and after 1881 many guesthouses were built.[4] In 1896 or 1897, a monument was unveiled commemorating the 60th anniversary of Chopin's stay.

In 1949, 1,500 Greek refugees of the Greek Civil War, mostly women and children, were temporarily admitted in Duszniki-Zdrój before new homes were found for them in other towns.[5]

The town suffered in the 1997 Central European flood.

In addition, there is a number of facilities for balneotherapy located in Duszniki and an osteoporosis treatment centre.
