In 1270, a priest from "Swa(r)zinberch" is mentioned for the first time. The Habsburgs ruled the towns in Vorarlberg and also Schwarzenberg alternately from Tyrol and Upper Austria (Freiburg im Breisgau). However, there was extensive self-government in the Bregenzerwald until the occupation by Napoleon. From 1805 to 1814, the town belonged to Bavaria, then again to Austria. Schwarzenberg has belonged to the Austrian federal state of Vorarlberg since its founding in 1861. The town was part of the French occupation zone in Austria from 1945 to 1955.
