For the first time Miory was mentioned in 1514 as the estate Mereya in Braslavski uezd as the part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 1793 Miory became the part of the Russian Empire. Nowadays Miory is an administrative, economic and cultural center of the Miory region. There are 9 industrial enterprises in the town. Among them there are the joint stock company "Miorsky animal feed plant", "Miorsky flax treating plant", "Miorsky milk plant", a bread-baking plant.
