In 1862 the district office Lohr am Main was formed, on whose administrative area Erlach was located. In 1871 Erlach came to the Marktheidenfeld district office on the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices and returned to the Lohr district office on January 1, 1880. As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Erlach was now one of the 26 communities in the Lohr am Main district . With the dissolution of the Lohr district, Erlach came to the newly formed Main-Spessart district in 1972 .

The previously independent municipality was incorporated into Neustadt am Main on May 1, 1978 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .
