The earliest known settlement in the area was in the eighth century. The first written mention of Klenica was in 1424.

In 1787 Peter von Biron, last Duke of Courland, acquired the former Jesuit estate together with the neighbouring Wartenberg and bequested it to his daughter Dorothea in 1800. Klenica later passed to the noble families of Radziwiłł and Czartoryski.

Between 1975 and 1998 the village belonged to the administrative village population of Zielona Gora.
