The beginnings of Čeladná probably date back to the15th century (possibly the end of the 14th century). The first written mention of Čeladná, however, comes from the very end of the 16th century when the village was listed in the land register of the Hukvaldy dominion in 1581. From the very beginning, Čeladná was a purely agricultural community. The name of the community, Čeladná, is also controversial. Some historians think that the name is derived from the word "čeládka"(domestic servants) who came to Hukvaldy. Others judge the basis for the origin of the designation for the community of Čeladná to be a derivative from "zahlen die Landenge" (payment constrictions) from the German language.

In the 17th century groups formed in the mountains who resisted exploitation. The best-known historical representatives of such formations are above all the "rebels Ondráš and Juráš", who were active throughout the Beskydy Mountains and had, according to the saga, one of their "hideouts" on the top of the mountain Skalka above Čeladná. There are several sacred monuments in the community. A wooden chapel and gallery dedicated to the Saints Cyril and Methodius were built in 1936 at the upper end of Čeladná at the source of the so-called "Cyrilka".

n the closing years of World War II the community was one of the centers of the resistance fighters. Soviet and English partisans were also active in and around Čeladná. There are several little monuments there that commemorate such activity.
