The year 809 saw the first documentary mention. 1319 there was a sale of the villages of Ismaning, Unterföhring, Oberföhring, Englschalking and Daglfing to the Hochstift Freising by the Duke of Bavaria and later Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in exchange for "a hundred March lotrings silver". This created the county on the Yserrain which existed until 1802. Then Ismaning became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Ismaning Palace was seat of the Beauharnais family until 1851 and is now seat of the town hall.
