The present village of Weil was first mentioned in a document in 786 under the name of Willa. A certain Ercanpert donated his share of the church in Willa (Weil) to the monastery of St. Gallen. The monasteries of St. Blasien and Weitenau also had possessions in the village. The cathedral chapter of Basel also owned land here and the cathedral courtyard, which served to collect church taxes and, with its new building of 1569, was the economic center and place of jurisdiction for Weil. For a long time Weil was characterized by agriculture and especially by viticulture. Due to the favorable traffic situation Weil developed into a town since the middle of the 19th century.
