At the end of the 14th century, the Steward of Waldburg held large portions of the town. In 1525, 2,000 farmers gathered in Unlingen as it became one of the starting points of the German Peasants' War. During the Thirty Years' War, Unlingen was destroyed by both Imperial and Swedish troops. In 1635, plague killed a large part of the population.
In 1806, during the Napoleonic Wars, Unlingen became a part of the Kingdom of Württemberg and was assigned to the jurisdiction of Riedlingen. With the district reform of 1938, the town became part of the county of Saulgau, then in 1973 was added to the district of Biberach.
