Völken is first mentioned in the Eggenthal church register at the end of the 18th century. The place name should go back to an older farm name .

After their division, it and the surrounding towns came to the Kempten Monastery under Prince Abbot Engelbert von Syrgenstein in 1749 .

Until May 1, 1978, Völken belonged to the previously independent municipality of Bayersried in the Altland district of Marktoberdorf . Bayersried was then incorporated into Eggenthal as part of the regional reform.

Ecclesiastically, the place belonged to the Baisweil parish until 1495 . Since 1495 Völken has belonged to the Eggenthal parish of St. Afra.
