It hard to estimate exact time of the foundation of the town. Near the town archeologists found Roman and Serbian medieval relicts, but it is believed that mass immigration became before Serbian Revolution at the beginning of nineteen century with people from Montenegro, East Bosnia and Western Serbians mountains Zlatibor and Tara. A legend says that the first inhabitants were Antnoje Kosijer and his sons from the village Kosijer in Montenegro and Jovan Baranin and his sister with her seven sons from the village Bare in Montenegro.
Fastest development began at 1882, but it was suppressed by the faster growing comics of nearby bigger towns, Valjevo and Pozega. Kosjeric reached the status of the town in 1966 and economic development after finishing of the Belgrade-Bar railway in 1972.
Today Kosjeric is the town with the highest economic standard in Western Serbia. It has Cement Factory that is one of the most successful companies in Serbia. After the fall of socialism Kosjeric soon became the town with the highest part of private capital in whole country.
Kosjeric is known together with other places in its surroundings from the producing of raspberries, fresh air and beautiful nature. The town is surrounded by high mountains, fields, wood and sources and it is famous for country tourism and producing of healthy food.
