The area of the municipality of Estern originally belonged to the parish of Gescher and after the Napoleonic era first to the mayor's office of Gescher in the Coesfeld district founded in 1816. The northern part of the historic Estern farmers has always belonged to the parish Stadtlohn, later became part of the municipality of Estern-Büren and is now part of Stadtlohn .

With the introduction of the Westphalian rural community order in 1843, the mayor's office in Gescher became the office of Gescher , to which the six communities Büren , Estern, Gescher, Harwick , Tungerloh-Capellen and Tungerloh-Pröbsting belonged.

On July 1, 1969, all six municipalities of the Gescher office, including Estern, were amalgamated to form the new town of Gescher through the law on the reorganization of municipalities in the Coesfeld district .
