In the 9th century, the territory of Kameničná became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1482.

Between 1938 and 1945 Kameničná once more became part of Miklós Horthy's Hungary through the First Vienna Award. From 1945 until the Velvet Divorce, it was part of Czechoslovakia. Since then it has been part of Slovakia.
