In 1600 the Lower Court of Hefenhofen was formed, which included Hefenhofen, Auenhofen, Hatswil, Moos and Tonhub. In 1644 the lords of Bernhausen divided the rule, then followed several changes of ownership until 1798. Before 1798, Kressibuch was a so-called high court and directly subordinated to the federal governor in Thurgau . Hefenhofen, which has been Protestant since the Reformation , has always belonged to Sommeri in the church. In 1870 the administrations of the spatially identical local and municipal community Hefenhofen were merged to form a single community Hefenhofen.

In the 19th century, agriculture and fruit growing were predominant in Hefenhofen, and there was also a weaving mill. Towards the end of the 19th century the transition to cattle and dairy farming took place. Around 1900 Hefenhofen had several embroidery companies and a silk knitting factory .
