Around the 14th century, Qo'noS was invaded by the Hur'q.
Qo'noS suffered severe ecological damage with the destruction of its moon, Praxis, in 2293. This resulted in a much warmer climate. (The capitol city is shown to be snow-covered during the Enterprise era c. 2151, but is rather warm in the TNG era.) The planet was first visited by Humans in 2151.
