The first written mention of Hemmiken dates from 1255 as Enninchon . In the late Middle Ages the village belonged to the Thierstein-Farnsburg rule, from 1461 it belonged to the city of Basel . During the Swabian War and the Thirty Years' War it was burned several times because of its proximity to the then Austrian Fricktal . Ornate door supports can be seen on older houses from the flourishing stone carving in the 18th and 19th centuries.
