At her court "op gen Houwe", Countess Margaretha von Kleve built a church in 1378 dedicated to St. Anthony was consecrated. Since the 19th century, Hau formed a rural community in the mayor's office of Materborn (from 1928 Amt Materborn and from 1945 Amt Till) in the Kleve district in the administrative district of Düsseldorf .

Until the beginning of the 20th century, Hau was only a thinly populated scattered settlement. The establishment of the Provincial Sanatorium and Nursing Institution , today's LVR-Klinik Bedburg-Hau , gave the community a strong growth impulse.

On July 1, 1969, Hau became part of the new municipality of Bedburg-Hau through the law to reorganize the district of Kleve .
