In the district of Gauselfingen, three prehistoric burial mounds, graves from the La Tène period , from the Celtic and early Alemannic times were discovered. Gauselfingen is mentioned for the first time in 772 in a deed of donation to the Lorsch Monastery in the Lorsch Codex . In the Middle Ages , the place belonged to the noble Hölnsteiner family . From 1478 to 1482 the Counts of Zollern gradually acquired the place from other landlords . In the 16th century Gauselfingen came to Burladingen . The village had 64 inhabitants in 1693, 280 in 1780 and 561 in 1871.

The railway connection around 1910 set in an economic development that was dominated by the textile industry. During the economic miracle after the Second World War, a modern industrial location developed. The structural crisis in the textile industry has hit Gauselfingen particularly hard since the 1970s. All the companies from the pre- and post-war period no longer exist today.
