Komárom is regarded as one oldest inhabited settlements which has been populated since the Stone Age. First, Celts settled down there then the Romans, who strengthened the riverbank with forts and military camps. Brigetio, which was built on the right bank of the Danube, was the legionary camp of the former Limes; and the civil settlements was the prosperous city of Pannonia. Goths, Avars and Slays lived there but this beautiful, fertile land could be preserved for the Hungarians who were coming from Asia. With the help of King Bela IV., Komárom got the privilegies of the town in 1265 and the citizens receved the same rights as the citizens of Buda. The large-scale development of the town started in the beginning of 18th century.

In 1745 Maria Theresa granted a charter of status of privilege and a new coat of arms to the city: the former simple but nice coat of arms was amended with several elements.
