The place was first mentioned in 856 as "Muhlenbach". The Altort is a castle hamlet on a slope and is located on the access road up to Guttenberg Castle, first mentioned in 1232 . He was originally named as the brook Mühlbach , was later to better distinguish same from other towns name in Neckarmühlbach renamed. The stream of the same name in the so-called Fünfmühlental , which today largely belongs to the city of Bad Rappenau , drove a number of mills . A predecessor building of the Maysackschen mill at the foot of the Burgsporn is proven in 1357 as a castle mill. The residents of the village provided farmers and day laborers in the service of the rulers at Guttenberg Castle.

The place was reformed in the first half of the 16th century under Dietrich von Gemmingen († 1526) .

The lower-lying properties of the place were affected by floods several times, the biggest flood was in 1824. In 1854 there were 269 inhabitants and 25 residential buildings in the place. In 1879 a new school and town hall was built. When the lower Neckar was canalized by 1935, the Gundelsheim barrage was built and, for the first time, a bridge connection over the Neckar to Gundelsheim .

On February 1, 1972 Neckarmühlbach was incorporated into Haßmersheim.

In 1939 there were 210 inhabitants, then 392 at the end of 1945. After the Second World War, over 150 displaced persons moved in and several new building areas were designated. In 2005 the population was 532.
