In 1934 the village of Sulz was separated from Dinhard and assigned to the municipality of Rickenbach ZH .

In 1943 an urn from the Hallstatt period was recovered from a burial mound near the Riedmühle . It is the oldest evidence of human presence in Dinhard.

Dinhard was first mentioned in a document as Thynhart in 1275. The important humanist Jakob Wiesendanger, called Ceporinus (1499–1525), who is commemorated by a memorial stone by the church, came from Dinhard .
