The origins of the present settlement on the bank of the lower Savinja river stretch far back into the history. The finds evidence Celtic and Roman colonization, whereas the old town core displays the architecture ranging from the early and late Middle Ages to modern times. The first written records of Laško go back to the year 1227. It is considered one of the oldest market in the Slovenian territory and also the seat of one of the earliest Slovenian parishes. As a market town it was the administrative seat of an extensive principality with market town rights. The settlement itself lost its significance when the area, previously owned by the Counts of Cilli, was inherited by the Hapsburgs. It was only by the arrival of the Southern Railway that the town was awakened from its slumber to see the minig and brewing industry boom as well as the already renowed Roman spa and the new spa in Laško flourish.
 

On celebrating its sevenhudredth anniversary in 1927 Laško was town chartered and henceforth experienced a more rapid development as a trade, commercial and industrial centre. Today Laško is the seat of the municipality and the administrative unit for over 14.000 citizens. Beside curative springs the place boasts pleasant climate and ecologically intact environment.
