Stoupa came into being in connection with the production of glass. A stamp mill for crushing quartz for the glassworks in Stará Knížecí Huť was built there probably around 1710, and Doninikal houses were added in the second half of the 18th century. The village is entered in the map of the Josephine land survey from the years 1764-1768. It is always listed with Česká Ves (Böhmischdorf) in the lists of residents.

The families lived mainly from cutting wood. Some of the men were stonemasons, others worked as unskilled workers in the Flossenbürg granite works. Until 1938 there was a convenience store on site and until recently an inn.

The hamlet of Josefovo Údolí (Josefsthal) with 14 residents in 2 houses lay below the village and was conscripted as Stoupa (Altpocher). At the 1930 census, 173 residents lived in 29 houses in the town. The German population was expelled after the end of the Second World War.

The cause of the sinking was the situation at the Iron Curtain. The houses were destroyed between 1945 and 1950; officially the village disappeared in 1952 due to a decree of the Ministry of Interior of Czechoslovakia dated July 30, 1948. This concerned border crossings, all roads near the border and the liquidation of buildings in a strip about two kilometers wide along the state border.
