Finds in the district from the 4th millennium BC Chr. Represent the first evidence of settlement. In the year 97 Consul Veiento had a temple built for the goddess Nemetona in his Klein-Winternheimer estate, a richly furnished Roman settlement, in the Upper Olmer corridor "villa cellar" . The place Ober-Olm itself was founded in the 6th century as a Franconian foundation and was first mentioned in a document in 994. The name "Ulmena Superior" from 1190 was previously associated with elms , but the tree names were only adopted from Latin into German in the 12th century. The formation of the place name “Ulm” and an ending “ena” is typical for a brook name, and these are very often used as settlement names. It can be assumed that "Ulmena" was the name that the Germanic settlers between Ober-Olm and Nieder-Olm gave the Selz. The remaining Roman population still used the name "Salusia" for the stream, which eventually caught on. However, “Ulmena” stuck to the two “Olm” as a place name, “Ulmena Superior” for Ober-Olm.
In the years 1582, 1603 and 1857 the place was destroyed by devastating fires.
