The city of Oelde was first mentioned in a document around 890 as "Ulithi im Dreingau " in the land register of the Werden monastery.

In 1457 a fire destroyed the city. In 1498, after the reconstruction, Oelde had 750 citizens. In 1605 another fire raged and destroyed a total of 18 houses, barns and the town hall.

In 1800 a large fire broke out, which killed two thirds of all buildings. In 1804 Oelde received city rights. In 1847 Oelde was connected to the railway network with the construction of the Minden-Cologne railway line. This led to the boom in industrialization in the city of Oelde. Oelde became internationally known in 1880 with the story of the Oelder Wind .

The Jewish community of Oelde existed between the middle of the 17th century and 1938. The mayor, who was in office during the National Socialist era from 1938, wrote to the Gestapo asking that Oelde be quickly made “Jew clean” and that the last Jews be deported .

In 1939, Oelde received its own exit when the motorway was being built . In the 1950s and 1960s, high-profile visitors came to Oelde several times when diplomats accepted the invitation from Federal Presidents Heuss and Lübke to hunt small game in the Geisterholz state forest. These events became popularly known as "diplomatic hunts".

In 2001 the city of Oelde organized the successful state horticultural show for North Rhine-Westphalia with more than 2.2 million visitors. The main topic was the magic of flowers and dreams of children . The former area of ​​the city park was integrated into the garden show area and the surrounding area was renatured with additional sections.
