Settlement in the Neckar valley around Neckartenzlingen dates to medieval times and reflects territorial shifts between Duchy of Swabia, County of Württemberg, and later the Kingdom of Württemberg during the early modern period. The town experienced the social and political upheavals associated with the Thirty Years' War and later integration into the German Confederation after the Congress of Vienna. In the 19th century industrialization linked the area to railway expansion exemplified by routes radiating from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and the growth of regional manufacturers similar to firms in Reutlingen and Metzingen. The 20th century brought reconstruction after World War II and incorporation into the modern Federal Republic of Germany within Baden-Württemberg.
