Finds from prehistoric and ancient times indicate a very early settlement of Weilheim space. The oldest written mention of the place can be found on 1 October 769 in a deed of [[Lorsch Abbey]]. In the years 1050 to 1070 founded [[Berthold II, Duke of Carinthia]] of the [[House of Zähringen]] the [[Limburg (Weilheim an der Teck)|Limburg]] and a provost in Weilheim, which remained during 20 years the headquarter of the House of Zährigen.
 
In 1319 count Ulrich of Aichelberg rose Weilheim to a city, which was fortified and rapidly gained importance because of the market law. 1334 sold Graf Brun of Kirchberg the place for 7,500 guilders to the [[House of Württemberg]]. 1432 in turn sold Peter von Liebenstein and his son-in-law Kaspar Schlats the pledge shank to Hans of Wernau.
In 1461 a fire destroyed the core city. 1489 the Peterskirche (Peter church) was built with its great variety of equipment in late Gothic style. From [[the Reformation]], the town was the location of a Protestant church and was assigned to the administrative [[Oberamt]] of [[{{ill|Oberamt of Kirchheim|de|Oberamt Kirchheim]]}} until its abolition. In the years 1634-1638 the plague raged in the city, 1505 people died. During the [[Thirty Years' War]] Swedish troops looted the place in 1647.
 
The town hall was built on the marketplace in 1777. In 2009 a modern designed building with underground parking was erected.
 
The town was entirely a farming community until mid-19th century. At the end of the 19th century industrial development began hesitantely. In 1858 the post Kirchheim-Kirchheim Weilheim was set up.

The passenger transport ended on September 25, 1982, the freight transport ended in 1986. From 1922 to 1924, the urban water supply was established through water pipes. From 1934 to 1937, the [[Bundesautobahn 8|A 8]] motorway was built, which runs through the district in the far north.
