The first documented mention of Ebersbach dates to the 12th century, when a nobleman named Arnolf donated land to the monastery of Ursberg. During the Middle Ages it belonged to Württemberg, and experienced its industrial growth only in the late 1800s after the railway connected it in the 1850s.
The name Ebersbach refers to the wild boar featured on the town's coat of arms. This symbol appears during local festivals and events, connecting residents to their heritage and traditions.
The town is easily reached by car or bus via the main road and lies about 16 miles (26 km) from Stuttgart. Local basic services include shops, banks, and post offices, while the compact town center can be explored on foot or by bicycle.
A notable historical figure was Volknand of Ebersbach, who founded the monastery of Adelberg in the Middle Ages and made an important contribution to the region's religious history. Additionally, the town suffered heavy losses during the Thirty Years War but recovered over time.
