It is one of the few villages in the area which came directly under the Crown rather than being dependent on an estate. Its inhabitants were proud of their status as "free farmers". The village was an important halt for travelers with its inn, first documented in 1666. The village is first mentioned in the Danish Census Book (1231) as Stockæmarc. It was originally part of the village of Bregerup (then Brikathorp) which in the Middle Ages had a hospital for lepers known as "St. Jørgens Hospital", first mentioned in 1389. When Bregerup was demolished, Count Adam Christopher Knuth established Knuthenlund in 1729, a driving force for the Stokkemarke community. 〔("Kongeriget Danmark / 3. Udgave 3. Bind : Bornholms, Maribo, Odense og Svendborg Amter" ), p. 186. Retrieved 3 July 2013.〕 It was once an independent municipality but was absorbed into Maribo Municipality following the local government reform in 1970. Since the 2007 reform it has come under Lolland Municipality.〔 The rural community expanded in the 20th century thanks to the establishment of several machinery works, especially Poul Rees a/s, bringing prosperity to the village and providing employment. The village also had its own dairy, a soap factory and a juice facility for the Maribo Sugar Factory.〔("Stokkemarke og omegn - De frivillige foreningers landsby" ), Lolland.dk.
