The village was first mentioned in 773 or 774 as Hesc, and probably means "ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) forest". [3] Esch is a church village which developed in the Early Middle Ages along the Esserstroom. The Abbey of Echternach had possessions in Esch back in the 8th century. [4]

The tower of the St Willibrordus Church dates from the late-15th century. The church was built between 1926 and 1927 in Byzantine Revival style. The convert Sancta Monica was built in 1895 by the missionary sisters Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe van Afrika (Our Lady of Africa). [4] In 2012, the convent was convert into an apartment building. [5]

Esch was home to 245 people in 1840. [5] Esch was a separate municipality until 1996, when it was merged with Haaren. [6]
