The first mentions of the village are documents from 1332.

In 1568, for the first time, we see the difference between Dolní and Horní Třešňovec. In 1793, the first school in Dolní Třešňovec was built, it was the 104th building in the village. In 1798 Dolní Třešňovec became an independent political community. Until then, all purchases and transfers of ownership had to be confirmed by the Lanškroun City Council. During Austro-Prussian War (1866) a large number of Prussian soldiers were housed in Dolní Třešňovec. In 1880, the local volunteer fire department was founded. In 1894, a two-classroom school building with a teacher's apartment and a gym was built opposite the "old" school. In the same year, on the occasion of the imperial maneuvers, Franz Joseph I of Austria personally went to Dolní Třešňovce and awarded some veterans with a golden cross of honor. Among those honored was Josef Janisch, Ontl Steffa from Horní Třešňovce, who in June 1859 distinguished himself in the Battle of Solferino with special bravery.

A difficult situation arose in 1905, when the manor of Dolní Třešňovce was offered for sale. The Czechs offered any price just to gain ownership of a huge complex just near to Lanškroun. So the money had to be found on the private market. Since no suitable German buyer could be found for the entire property, the fields and meadows were sold piece by piece, and the building with parts of the land was taken over in 1907 by the League of Germans against Czechs for the orphanage. Due to the fact that the orphanage was permanently occupied by 40-60 pupils until its abolition in 1941, most of them then became pupils of the Dolní Třešňovec´s School, the expansion of the school was carried out in 1909 under the leadership of the municipal leader Johann Peichl. In the summer of 1923, the municipality had a memorial built for the 34 victims of the First World War. Electricity was introduced here in 1928.

In 1946, the Agricultural and Veterinary Secondary School was founded in the building of the former orphanage. In 1956, the football club TJ Sokol Dolní Třešňovec was founded. In 1960, Dolní Třešňovec again became a part of Lanškroun after 162 years. On September 1, 1964, the new building of the Agricultural and Veterinary Secondary School was opened.

Between 2009 and 2011, a new cow shed was built in the school farm. In 2010, the volunteer fire department purchased a new emergency vehicle. In 2021, the cycle path leading to Mariánská Hora was repaired between the school farm and the border with Horní Třešňovec.

Voluntary Firefighter Unit
In 1880, a shed for firemen's tools (now the firestation) was built. The unit was officially approved and registered in the cadastre of associations of the city on February 9, 1886. The first commander of the unit was Johann Wernisch.

In 1960, Dolní Třešňovec became a part of Lanškroun, which meant that the function of the unit was reclassified to support and humanitarian. Unit still holds this function.
