Pasewalk became a town during the 12th century and was soon a member of the Hanseatic League. In 1359 it passed to the Duke of Pomerania. Frequently ravaged during the wars which devastated the district, it was plundered several times by Imperial troops during the Thirty Years' War. In the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 it was given to Sweden. In 1657 it was burned down by the Poles, in 1676 it was conquered by Brandenburg, and in 1713 it was burned down by the Russians. In 1720, in the Peace of Stockholm, it passed from Sweden to Prussia. In the early 18th century, a commune of French Huguenots was established in the town.{{cite book|last=Muret|first=Eduard|title=Geschichte der Französischen Kolonie in Brandenburg-Preußen, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Berliner Gemeinde.

In 1760, the Battle of Pasewalk was fought, won by the Swedes.

The town is famous for having been surrendered to the French without a fight during the War of the Fourth Coalition, despite them being far less numerous than the defenders of the city. On the day World War I ended, Adolf Hitler, the future dictator of Nazi Germany, was being treated here after being wounded by a gas attack. During the Battle of Berlin, part of World War II, Pasewalk was captured by troops of the 2nd Belorussian Front of the Red Army on 28 April 1945. From 1945 to 1952, Pasewalk was part of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, from 1952 to 1990 of the Bezirk Neubrandenburg of East Germany and since 1990 again of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
