In the following years the place is mentioned in documents under various forms of name [Romaningahoba (790), Romaninchoven (1064), Rümikun (1310), Rümichon (1321), Rümikon (1344)].

Politically, Rümmingen was a "branch" of the Binzen community until 1750. After Rümmingen had already made an advance in 1726 to obtain its own ban , it was not until a contract dated July 6, 1750 that its own district was separated from the previously common ban with Binzen.

Rümmingen also belonged to the parish until 1989 . From 1989 to 2012 there was its own parish, since 2013 there has been a joint Protestant parish again with Binzen. Before the Reformation , the parish of Binzen-Rümmingen belonged to the Diocese of Constance . In 1503 the diocese of Basel bought the patronage rights over the Binzen church. In 1505 the Rümmingers built their own house of worship; the Gothic chapel on Dorfstrasse still stands today and is one of the oldest buildings in the community.

In 1740 Rümmingen hired its first teacher . In 1835 the community built its own school, today's town hall. In 1964 the new building of today's primary school was inaugurated and in 1994 two classrooms were added.

The age of industrialization began in Rümmingen in 1861 with the construction of a brick factory , which was profitable thanks to the Kandertal Railway, which opened in 1895 . In 1967 the brickworks were taken over by Tonwerke Kandern, which shut down operations in Rümmingen in 1993.

Today Rümmingen is an agricultural and craft town. After the end of the Second World War , building activity began and the number of inhabitants rose from 400 to more than 1,600.
