Schlieren was first mentioned in documents in 828. Schlieren was owned by the Habsburgs until 1415 . After the conquest of Aargau by the Confederates , it was part of the County of Baden . In 1803 it was assigned to the Canton of Zurich. In 1777 the pastor Heinrich Keller founded the first deaf-mute school in Switzerland when he took two deaf boys into his rectory .

At the end of the 19th century, in the course of industrialization, Schlieren began to gradually change from a rural rural community to an urban small town. The Schweizerische Wagons- & Aufzügefabrik AG (SWS) was located in Schlieren from 1899 until its closure in 1985 .

Due to the proximity to the city of Zurich and the good transport connections (until 1956 tram , today trolleybus Zurich and S-Bahn ), population growth began. In 1960 the population exceeded 10,000. In 2008, Schlieren was awarded the Energy City label for energy policy measures that were adopted and implemented.
