Truttikon was first mentioned as Truttaninchova in 858. At that time, lands in Truttikon were donated to the Rheinau monastery .

In 1556 Truttikon was sold to the Augustinian monastery in Kreuzlingen , which owned it until 1798. The community was part of the County of Kyburg and subsequently came to the city of Zurich by inheritance in 1452.

By resolution of the Cantonal Council, the existing civil parish was raised to the status of a political municipality on January 1, 1879 .

The coat of arms is a new creation from the time around 1878, when the civil parish of Trüllikon was dissolved and converted into a political municipality. The coat of arms symbolizes traditional viticulture in Truttikon and has been the official coat of arms of the municipality since the end of 1930 in its current color.
