Although the area had settlements since the Bronze Age, Geislingen was founded by the counts of Helfenstein as a transit collection station on the vital commercial route between the Rhine valley and the Mediterranean. In 1803, Ulm and Geislingen became part of Bavaria, but in a land exchange were incorporated into the kingdom of Wurttemberg in 1810.
Industrialization started with the arrival of the railroad and the construction of the railroad Steige, a steep incline of rail and road to the plateau of the Schwabische Alb. The leading industrial enterprise is the Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik founded in 1852, a world famous manufacturer of goods for kitchen and table.
