History
The Romans had already settled the area of the town. A vicus was found on the bypass road near the border with Hettenleidelheim. It is said to be identical with Rufiniana (gr.: Ρουφινιάνα), a settlement of the Nemetes, mentioned by Ptolemy.
Eisenberg's first mention in medieval times was as Ysinberc in 763.
From the 14th century onwards Eisenberg was part of the Dominion of Kirchheim that was ruled by the House of Nassau as part of the Duchy of Nassau-Weilburg.
After the War of the First Coalition Eisenberg was occupied and later annexed by France with the Treaty of Campo Formio in 1797. From 1798 to 1814 it belonged to the French Departement du Mont-Tonnerre. After the Congress of Vienna the region was first given to Austria (1815) and later to Bavaria (1816).
After World War II Eisenberg became part of Rhineland-Palatinate (1946). On 15 March 1963 the municipality was granted town privileges. Since 1969 it belongs to the Donnersbergkreis district.
