The place developed below the Waldangelloch Castle . The castle district, that is, the part of the settlement that was on the same side of the Angelbach as the castle, was completely under the rule of the respective castle lords. The rest of the village on the other side of the Angelbach was subject to a condominium from the respective castle rulers and the Odenheim monastery . The two districts were connected by an old stone bridge that existed until the 20th century. The place was first mentioned in 1225 in a document from King Henry VII, who confirmed the ownership of the monastery in Angelacha . The lords of the castle from the 13th to the early 17th century were the Knights of Angelach , who had the castle and other property in the place as a fiefdom of the Counts of Eberstein . Another place called Angelloch, about 20 km away near Leimen , also goes back to the von Angelach . To differentiate the places, the place names were later extended by a prefix and became Waldangelloch or Gauangelloch .

After the Lords of Angelach died out in 1608 or 1613, Count Philipp III. von Eberstein regained ownership of Waldangelloch. After the death of the last descendants of Eberstein Casimir (1639-1660), the Ebersteinsche share in 1679 reached about his widow and his daughter's marriage Sofie Esther Elbertine Eberstein (1661-1728) with Friedrich August von Württemberg-Neustadt to the house Württemberg . Schools, church, hunting and fishing were from then on with Württemberg, the land rulership was divided between a condominium from Württemberg and the knight monastery of Odenheim, which now resides in Bruchsal. As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, the ownership of the monastery came to the Grand Duchy of Baden , with the exchange and epuration contract in 1806, the half of Württemberg followed. Waldangelloch came to the Baden office of Odenheim .

The place had around 800 inhabitants around 1800 and was characterized by agriculture and craft for a long time. In terms of handicrafts, joiners , sieve makers and rake makers should be mentioned in particular . After the transition to Baden, numerous foreigners moved here. As a result of this and a high birth rate, the population increased by over 200 people in the period from 1802 to 1823. In 1827 there were 1074 inhabitants. The municipal administration promoted emigration and was able to alleviate the plight of the population and stabilize the municipal finances until the 1860s. From the 1880s onwards there were several, at times up to ten, cigar factories in Waldangelloch, in which over 200 men and women were employed in the years before the First World War. In 1901 Waldangelloch was connected to the railway network by the Wiesloch – Meckesheim / Waldangelloch railway. Because of the high cost sharing, other local projects such as the construction of a new school house or a water pipe had to be postponed.

During the First World War and the subsequent period of inflation, the place experienced a temporary decline in cigar factories, combined with emigration due to unemployment. A stick factory offered new jobs for a few years. In 1939 there were 874 inhabitants, at the end of 1945 there were 900.

After the Second World War, some 300 displaced native settled Hungary German from Pomáz on. After the currency reform in 1948 , seven out of ten cigar factories in town closed by 1960. The settlement of a fine hosiery factory and a precision engineering factory in two former cigar factories offered some women new jobs, while male workers mostly only found work abroad. From 1959 onwards, several large building areas were redesignated on an area of ​​around 10 hectares, in which 162 new residential buildings were built by 1975. The structural change in the post-war period also led to the abandonment of most of the 193 farms that had existed from 1950. From 1964 to 1969 the through traffic was expanded. The fishing stream in the locality was also condemned . Waldangelloch was incorporated into Sinsheim on July 1, 1972 and today has around 1,800 inhabitants.
