Ujazd began as a village owned by nobles. In the 13th century, it was an estate owned by a knight called Racibir. The first mention of Ujazd dates to 1283.

The town was founded in 1428 by P. Tłuka from Stryków. It functioned as a local trade center. Around 1636, its small medieval castle was replaced by a baroque palace (now a neogothic building from 1882–1886). In 1676–1680, the baroque parish church of St. Wojciech was constructed. The growth of Ujazd was halted after the establishment of Tomaszów Mazowiecki in 1788.

In 1793, the town found itself in the part of Poland annexed by Prussia. From 1807, it was located in the Duchy of Warsaw, and from 1815 in the Russian partition (the Kingdom of Poland). In the 19th century, it was a center of agriculture, crafts, and small trade. In 1850, half of the town’s buildings were destroyed in a great fire. In 1870, Ujazd lost its town privileges. Its situation was not improved even in 1885, when Ujazd was connected to the Koluszki–Tomaszów railway line which opened it up to the world.

During the Nazi German occupation of the Second World War, Ujazd was the location of a ghetto. Over 2,000 people went through the ghetto. Most of them were transported to the extermination camp in Treblinka. To this day, Ujazd did not regain its town privileges. Since 1999, it has been a village in the Tomaszów Poviat, Łódź Voivodeship.
