Działoszyn was granted town rights in 1421. It was a private town, administratively located in the Wieluń County in the Sieradz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.

During the German invasion of Poland at the beginning of World War II, Działoszyn was the site of heavy fights between the Poles and the Germans. The town was heavily bombed by the Germans, and most of its Jews fled to nearby Paincheno, where they were employed in forced labor. Eventually, the town's Jews were murdered by the occupiers in the Holocaust. The German occupiers, renamed the town to Dilltal. In 1945, the German occupation ended, and the town's historic name was restored.

Sports
