The first written record of Mioveni dates back in 1485. Mioveni developed very much in the 1970s after the construction of the Automobile Dacia manufacturing plant, inaugurated in 1968. In Mioveni is located also a Nuclear Research Institute that builds components and materials for the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant, and a high security prison.

Prior to April 1989, when it was declared a town, the place was a commune under the name of Colibași. In 1996, the historic name of Mioveni was revived, although the old village had been completely razed under the Communist regime in order to make way for new urban construction.
