The first church in Pumpėnai was built around 1638. The town established itself due to the settlement of monks from the Order of Carmelites in 17th century. The monastery was built by Povilas and Jurgis Zavadskis and Juozapas Šyšla in 1655. The monastery was built from wood and burned down in 1770 and then was rebuilt. In 1792 Pumpėnai got Magdeburg rights.
On 15 July 1941, Jews of the town were kept imprisoned in a ghetto.[2][3] On August 26, 1941, an execution squad murdered the Jews in a mass execution.[4][5]
