history
Early history
Grave finds from the late Bronze Age are the oldest evidence of human settlement in Egg.
middle Ages
Egg is first mentioned in a deed of gift written in Latin, dated January 27, 775. In this letter, a landowner bequeathed his property in Egg (called Eccha) to the St. Gallen monastery . The Egg church is mentioned in a document in 885 as the property of the St. Gallen monastery. In 972 the Einsiedeln monastery also acquired a property complex in Egg. Einsiedeln, however, lost its property around the Grüningen fief , which Egg also belonged to, to the St. Gallen monastery around 1230 . In addition to these goods complexes, the Habsburger Urbar also records the settlement of free farmers in the area around Hinteregg. As a result, Hinteregg was called "Fryenegg" until the 17th century.
1253 transferred the monastery of St. Gallen Lüthold VI. from the Regensberg dynasty, the Vogteirecht over the rule Grüningen and thus also the goods in Egg. As a result of the Regensberg feud around 1267/68 Lüthold VI. In 1269 the fiefdom of Grüningen was returned to the monastery. As a result, Rudolf von Habsburg , who was an enemy of Regensburg, secured it between 1273 and 1284.

Early modern age
The city of Zurich, rich in trade and commerce, acquired practically the entire landscape of today's Canton of Zurich since the 13th century. In 1408, in exchange for a sum of money to be paid to Hermann and Walter Gessler, the town came into possession of the area of the former bailiwick of Grüningen and thus also of the area around Egg. From then on, the typical urban ruling structures in the area of influence of the city of Zurich also shaped the political and social circumstances of the citizens of Egg. These conditions gradually began to change when the aristocratic Zurich city-state collapsed under internal and external pressure in 1789 and the Helvetic Republic was proclaimed. The heraldry of the Egger coat of arms still illustrates the importance of the French Revolution for the political upheaval in the region as a revolutionary export.

By 1927, the six civil parishes of Bad, Hinteregg, Egg, Hof, Lieburg and Esslingen gradually merged to form the political municipality of Egg.
