Benešov nad Ploučnicí is first indirectly mentioned in 1283, when "Ostrý castle with town" (castrum Scharfenstein et civitatis) is mentioned. The unnamed town is considered by historians to be Benešov nad Ploučnicí (although interpretations of Česká Kamenice have also been made).

Benešov nad Ploučnicí has been a town since at least 1392, when it was granted the town rights of Mladá Boleslav by Jan of Michalovice. In connection with the development of the town government and the activities of the town office, the need for a town seal arose. Its use is documented only in 1452. The seal has not survived to the present day, but we know its description - "a smooth heart-shaped shield, above which a bear's head could be seen". The oldest Benešov town seals that have survived come from three typewriters made in 1590. All three typewriters are still kept in the State District Archive in Děčín. In the seal field of all three sealers, the half-shield is smooth on the right, latticed on the left, and above the upper edge of the shield, the upper half of the figure stands out, which is interpreted as the head, part of the body and front paws of a bear.
