The Kehlhof in Horn belonged to the Konstanz Bishopric as early as the 9th century . Horn was first mentioned as Horna in a document issued by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa in 1155 . In the document, the emperor confirms the existing land rights of the Bishop of Constance . In 1449 the monastery of St.Gallen acquired some rights over Horn, which Prince Abbot Ulrich Rösch exchanged with the Constance Bishop Burkhard von Randegg for Ober goldach in 1463 in order to gain safe access to the lower Rhine valley . The bailiwick of Horn now belonged to the Episcopal-Constance Upper Bailiwick of Arbon and until 1798 was subject to the Arbon City Court, where the bishop had high and low jurisdiction . After Tübach and Untergoldach had belonged to the St. Gallen monastery for a long time, the prince abbey succeeded in acquiring Steinach in 1490 . Horn was thus completely surrounded by St. Gallen Abbey.

With the creation of the Helvetic Republic in 1798, Horn was to be added to the canton of Säntis . The then governor Ulrich Sauter in Arbon prevented this and Horn formed its own municipality in the canton of Thurgau . With the mediation act of 1803 Horn lost its independence because the village did not have the necessary number of inhabitants stipulated in the constitution. In 1816 Horn became independent of Arbon and again independent. The administrations of the spatially identical local and municipal municipality of Horn, formed in 1816, were merged in 1870 to form a single municipality of Horn.

A parity chapel was set up in 1877 in Horn, which belongs to the parish of Arbon . The Catholic parish was established in 1911 and the Reformed parish in 1920, the church of which was consecrated in 1930.

In the 19th century fishing, weaving and handicrafts dominated. 1824 improved with the steamship operating the traffic control situation and Horn now advertised as a spa and whey spa Bad Horn . At the end of the 19th century, cattle and dairy farming as well as fruit growing appeared. After the opening of the SBB railway line Romanshorn – Rorschach in 1869, the later bleaching company Raduner AG opened in 1888 and the Sais oil and edible fat factory in 1916/17 . The industrial companies displaced agriculture around 1920. After Raduner AG ceased production in 1989 and oil mill in 2000, Unisto AG (advertising material) and Sabo Specialties, the successor to the Sais, still offer jobs in the second economic sector in Horn .
