Jossa is the youngest town in the valley of the Jossa, located at the mouth of the Sinn. In 1698, a "Jossmüller" was mentioned by name for the first time. Jossa was founded between 1725 and 1730 by residents of Burgjoß and Breunings. The place name first appears in 1734. Until the church was built (completed in 1909), Protestant churchgoers attended services in Altengronau and Neuengronau.

Jossa made the decisive leap in development with the construction of the Gemünden-Fulda railway in 1874. Thanks to employment opportunities in railway construction and later in operation, Jossa gained importance with the construction of the single-track branch line from Jossa to Bad Brückenau (1891) and to Wildflecken (1908). Wood was now delivered and loaded in Jossa. The famous railway viaduct was blown up at the end of the Second World War by a commando of the German Wehrmacht.

The current concrete bridge with three arches was built in 1952. Due to the existing rail connection A soil factory was established, which is still successfully operating as a producer of horticultural soil and substrates on former railway land. Since 1978, Jossa has been a state-approved recreational area.
