History edit

Signs of Roman settlement have been found east of the present village. The community was first mentioned in the year 1124. At that time, the landowner in Aesch was Engelberg Abbey. With the conquest of Aargau Aesch came under the rule of Zürich, where it remained until the Helvetic Republic. Between 1798 and 1803 it was incorporated into the Bezirk Mettmenstetten. Until the Second World War, Aesch was purely a farming community. From 1942 to 1946 a labor camp with internees and emigrants was located in Aesch, who undertook forest clearance in the Reuetal and Stierenwald. In 1963 construction of the planned communities of Brunn- und Grossacher began, which set in motion the transition to a centralized community.

Aesch is first mentioned in 1184 as Asche. After the 15th Century it was often mentioned as Esch ennend Albis.[3]
