Calligra was created after disagreements within the KOffice community in 2010 – between [[KWord]] maintainer Thomas Zander and the other core developers.<ref name="LWN-KOffice">{{cite web |url=https://lwn.net/Articles/419822/ |title=Behind the KOffice split |website=lwn.net |author=Joe Brockmeier |date=14 December 2010 |access-date=20 June 2013 |archive-date=6 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130706094238/http://lwn.net/Articles/419822/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://lists.kde.org/?l=koffice-devel&m=128782551919625&w=2 |title=KOffice split |publisher=KDE |date=2010-10-23 |access-date=2012-06-13 |archive-date=2013-11-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102010415/http://lists.kde.org/?l=koffice-devel&m=128782551919625&w=2 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://lists.kde.org/?l=koffice-devel&m=128812911619277&w=2 |title=Re: KOffice split |publisher=KDE |date=2010-10-26 |access-date=2012-06-13 |archive-date=2013-11-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102003252/http://lists.kde.org/?l=koffice-devel&m=128812911619277&w=2 |url-status=live }}</ref> (See {{section link| KOffice | History}}.)

Three applications, [[Kexi]], [[Krita]] and [[KPlato]] and the user interfaces for mobile devices have been completely moved out of KOffice and are only available within Calligra. A new application called Braindump has been added to Calligra after the split and KWord was replaced by the new word processor [[Calligra Words]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.kde.org/node/4538 |title=Calligra Words is not a fork of KWord |publisher=blogs.kde.org |access-date=2012-06-13 |archive-date=2012-05-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120510151201/http://blogs.kde.org/node/4538 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

KOffice 2.3, released 31 December 2010, along with subsequent bugfix releases (2.3.1–2.3.3) was still a collaborative effort of both the KOffice and Calligra development teams.<ref name="LWN-KOffice"/> According to its developers, this version is stable enough for real use, and Karbon14, Krita and KSpread are recommended for production work.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.koffice.org/news/koffice-2-3-0-released/ |title=KOffice 2.3.0 Released |publisher=KOffice.org |date=2010-12-31 |access-date=2012-06-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607105555/http://www.koffice.org/news/koffice-2-3-0-released/ |archive-date=2011-06-07 }}</ref>

On 18 May 2011, the Calligra team began releasing monthly snapshots while preparing for the release of Calligra 2.4.

The first version of the Calligra Suite for Windows was released on 21 December 2011. The package is labeled as “highly experimental” and “not yet suitable for daily use”.<ref>{{cite web|title = Calligra Packages for Windows Released| date=21 December 2011 |url = http://www.calligra.org/news/calligra-packages-for-windows-released/|access-date = 2012-01-19|archive-date = 2021-01-18|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210118230435/https://calligra.org/news/calligra-packages-for-windows-released/|url-status = live}}</ref>

Calligra Mobile's development was initiated in summer 2009 and was first shown during [[Akademy]] / Desktop Summit 2009 by [[KO GmbH]] as a simple port of KOffice to Maemo. Later [[Nokia]] hired KO to assist them with a full-fledged mobile version, including a touchscreen-friendly user interface which was presented by Nokia during Maemo Conference in October 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dot.kde.org/2009/10/13/nokia-sponsors-koffice-development-mobile-devices |title=Nokia Sponsors KOffice Development for Mobile Devices |date=13 October 2009 |publisher=KDE.News |access-date=2012-03-30 |archive-date=2021-03-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210327084638/https://dot.kde.org/2009/10/13/nokia-sponsors-koffice-development-mobile-devices |url-status=live }}</ref> The first [[alpha version]] was made available in January 2010.<ref>{{cite news| title = KOffice Based Office Viewer Launched for Nokia N900| url = http://dot.kde.org/2010/01/21/koffice-based-office-viewer-launched-nokia-n900| author = Jonathan Riddell| agency = KDE.NEWS| publisher = KDE| date = 2010-01-21| access-date = 2011-09-18| archive-date = 2020-07-29| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200729225727/https://dot.kde.org/2010/01/21/koffice-based-office-viewer-launched-nokia-n900| url-status = live}}</ref> Along with the launch of the [[Nokia N9]] smartphone, Nokia released its own [[Poppler (software)|Poppler]] and Calligra-based office document viewer under GPL.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.calligra.org/news/calligra-provides-the-engine-for-nokias-harmattan-office/ |title=Calligra provides the Engine for Nokia's Harmattan Office |publisher=Calligra.org |date=2011-10-24 |access-date=2012-05-01 |archive-date=2021-04-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210401175424/https://calligra.org/news/calligra-provides-the-engine-for-nokias-harmattan-office/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/o/office-tools/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130213215230/http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/o/office-tools/ | url-status = dead | archive-date = 2013-02-13 | title = Index of /pool/harmattan/free/o/office-tools |publisher=Harmattan-dev.nokia.com | access-date = 2014-03-14 }}</ref>
