Due to the good contacts to the Lords of Nifen, Neuffen already received town privileges in 1232. 1303 Liutgard of Nifen sold Neuffen to Württemberg. From the 14th century until 1806 Neuffen was the seat of an office. From 1543 on the expansion of the castle Hohenneuffen to a land fortress was carried out. A fire in 1634 almost completely destroyed Neuffen. From 1801 on, the castle was partially canceled. The office Neuffen was assigned in 1806 to the newly formed Oberamt Nürtingen. In 1900 the Tälesbahn connected Neuffen to the railway network. In 1938 Neuffen came to the newly formed district of Nürtingen. In 1973 Neuffen came to the district of Esslingen. In August 1948 the Prime Minister of Württemberg-Baden Reinhold Maier, the Prime Minister of Südbaden Leo Wohleb and the Interior Minister of South Württemberg-Hohenzollern Viktor Renner talked at Hohenneuffen about establishing a new Southwest State, today Baden-Württemberg.
