The village was first mentioned as Selhees or Selches in the year 1300, when the transfer of income to the monastery by the Prince Abbot Heinrich V von Weilnau (1288-1313) was recorded in a document. However, Silges was already there in the Hallstatt period around 400 BC. Inhabited, which is evidenced by an urn field from this time . The origin of the place name is not clearly clarified, it could either mean settlement of the Siegwolf or indicate pastureland .

The Lords of Wolferts and von Buchenau were wealthy in Silges. Since 1510 the distinction between Über- and Niedersilges has developed. The road from Fulda to Geisa that was built in the early Middle Ages led through Silges.
