In the late Bronze Age (1100–800 BC), the area around Kitzbühel was settled by Illyrians, who also mined copper ore here.

Around the year 15 B.C. In the 4th century BC, the Romans under Emperor Augustus spread across the Alpine region and established the province of Noricum. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the area was settled around 800 by Bavarians who cleared the forests.

Around 1178–1182 the name Chizbuhel was first mentioned in a Chiemsee document (there is mention of a Marchwardus de Chizbuhel[1]), whereby Chizzo refers to a Bavarian clan and Bühel refers to the geographical location of the settlement on a hill. A hundred years later, a source attests to the bailiwick of Bamberg Abbey in Kicemgespuchel; In the city survey document from 1271 the place was called Chizzingenspuehel.
