The jurisdiction over Unterwaldhausen and Oberwaldhausen was exercised by the Counts of Königsegg . In 1693 they ceded jurisdiction to the Weingarten monastery in exchange for the hamlet of Wolfertsreute. The possessions of the monastery were combined in the "Amt Unterwaldhausen".

In the course of secularization , the place came to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 . Unterwaldhausen initially belonged to the Saulgau District Office (from 1934: Saulgau district ) before it was added to the Ravensburg district as part of the municipal reform on January 1, 1973.
