The district of Langendamm was first mentioned in 1531 as "Langen Damm". To this day, this is the oldest reference to the “Long Dam” in the series of border markings between the County of Hoya and the Principality of Calenberg . The first documented determination of the settlement is made in a head tax description from 1664.
In 1935 the munitions plant (MunA) of the Wehrmacht was established. The population of Langendamm increased due to the construction of factories, accommodation and barracks. Much from this time still shapes the image of the district today. After the Second World War , the British armed forces took over large parts of the old ammunition plant and at times also used it as a refugee camp .
