At the end of the 18th century lord Jozef Rholl moved from Rolová Huta to Snina and bought forests and a farm. On the foot of the Vihorlat began to search for gold and silver. But he discovered iron ore and silicates. For purpose of ore and glass melting he made miners, glass-blowers, colliers from the surroundings of Margecany to move their houses here and then in 1809 founded a worker´s settlement called Jozefova Dolina.
In 1844 village was renamed - Szinna Hámor and in 1918 had become village called Sninské Hámre. In 1956 its name was changed into Zemplínske Hámre.
