For the first time Enying was mentioned in 1138 in the agricultural list of the diocese of Dömös , Balatonbozsok was already shown in 1082 as property of the Church of St. Michael in Veszprém . The rule over the places changed more frequently in the course of history. The town had a good economic development from 1720 in the 18th and 19th centuries under the rule of the noble von Batthyány family, which is still reflected in the townscape today with the castle, castle park, agricultural facilities and the Johann Nepomuk Church.
Enying became the district capital in 1867 and remained so until 1961. The town's train station was built on the railway line from Veszprém to Dombóvár in 1880, and before the end of the 19th century, the post office, telegraph office and savings bank were added. In 1950 the municipality was spun off from Veszprém County and attached to Fejér County.
