The party was founded in 1948 as a reaction to the islands failing to gain independence despite the outcome of the 1946 independence referendum, after which independence was subsequently declared but annulled by the Danish King.
In 1998, Høgni Hoydal succeeded Heini O. Heinesen as party leader.
During the 20 January 2004 legislativeelections, the party won 21.7% of the popular vote and 8 out of 33 seats. However, after the passing of an amendment adding the term "sexual orientation" to paragraph 266b of the Anti-Discrimination Act, MP Karsten Hansen announced that he was leaving the party owing to a difference in opinion. He later joined the Centre Party.
At the elections on 19 January 2008, the party won 23.3% of the vote and 8 out of 33 seats.
On 14 September 2007, the party changed its name from Tjóðveldisflokkurin to simply Tjóðveldi (i.e., from "the Republican Party" to just "Republic").
