Jeggau was originally laid out as an anger village and later developed into a street village , as can be seen from the Urmes table sheet from 1823.

In 1429 Johannes Jeggow in Gröningen is mentioned in a document. In 1472 the place is mentioned as Jeggow , when Elector Abrecht Werner and Gebhard von Alvensleben enfeoffed the castle and the bailiwick of Gardelegen and the associated possessions. In 1472 the village belonged to the Hospital of the Holy Spirit in Gardelegen. In 1560 Jeggau was hit by a flood. In 1651 there was a fire in the village which also damaged the village church . From 1688 to 1690 the building of today's church took place as a replacement. In 1831 eight farms burned down. Since then, the village has been straightforward.

To the north of Jeggau were the villages of Hohen-Heerde and Sieden-Heerde , which had already become desolate in the 14th century .

In 1910 there were 405 inhabitants in Jeggau. At the beginning of the 20th century there was a windmill southwest of the village.
