Območje današnjega Škocjana je bilo poseljeno že v prazgodovini kar nakazujejo arheološke najdbe. Vendar je bil v zgodovini pomembnejši bližji trg freisinških škofov Gutenwetrh, kjer je bil sedež župnije. Po njegovem uničenju v turškem napadu leta 1473 je bil sedež župnije prenesen v današnji Škocjan - natančneje leta 1492.
Naselje Škocjan se omenja že leta 1306. Naselje se imenuje po glavnem zavetniku župnijske cerkve sv. Kancijanu. Sv. Kancijan je eden izmed najbolj čaščenih svetnikov v Oglejskem Patriarhatu, kar kaže na povezanost Škocjana z njim. Dvoločni most je dobil svoje mesto v občinskem grbu leta 1994.
Leta 1819 se je v Škocjanu rodil Ignacij Knoblehar, misijonar in raziskovalec Belega Nila. Po njem se danes imenuje glavni občinski praznik - Knobleharjevo. Njegova rojstna hiša v Škocjanu ima na pročelju vzidano spominsko ploščo. Njegov kip pa krasi trg pred župniščem.
Tukaj se je leta 1789 rodil tudi Fran Metelko - duhovnik, pisec in prevajalec. Stavba nekdanje šole se imenuje Metelkov dom, njegovo ime pa nosi tudi sedanja osnovna šola.
The area of today's Škocjan was settled in prehistoric times, as archaeological finds indicate. However, the nearby market of the Freising bishops, Gutenwetrh, where the parish seat was located, was more important in history. After its destruction in a Turkish attack in 1473, the parish seat was transferred to today's Škocjan - to be precise, in 1492.
The settlement of Škocjan was mentioned as early as 1306. The settlement is named after the main patron of the parish church, St. Kancijan. St. Kancijan is one of the most revered saints in the Aquileian Patriarchate, which indicates the connection of Škocjan with him. The two-arched bridge was given its place in the municipal coat of arms in 1994.
In 1819, Ignacij Knoblehar, a missionary and explorer of the White Nile, was born in Škocjan. Today, the main municipal holiday - Knobleharjevo - is named after him. His birthplace in Škocjan has a memorial plaque built into the facade. His statue adorns the square in front of the rectory.
Fran Metelko - a priest, writer and translator - was also born here in 1789. The former school building is called Metelkov dom, and the current elementary school also bears his name.

Najprej sem mislil pripraviti daljši sprehod z več točkami, a sem se na koncu odločil le za šest postaj, saj si boste kar nekaj znamenitosti/podatkov lahko ogledali sami, ko boste hodili med točkami.
At first, I thought about preparing a longer walk with more points, but in the end I decided on only six, as you will be able to see quite a few sights/information yourself as you walk between the points.
