In ancient times the area of Hainfeld was part of the Roman province Noricum . In 1280 Hainfeld was mentioned as a forum (market) which indicates a certain importance for the local region. During the Middle Ages the market was part of the manorialism of Lilienfeld Abbey. On 30 December 1888 the Austrian politician Victor Adler united some Austro-Hungarian socialist and worker's movements and associations to the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Austria (German: Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei Österreichs, SDAPÖ) at the party congress in Hainfeld. This was the beginning of the modern Austrian party Social Democratic Party of Austria. On 26 September 1928 the Lower Austrian State Government endowed Hainfeld with town privileges. After World War II Hainfeld was the second most destroyed Austrian city behind Wiener Neustadt and part of the Soviet occupation zone in Allied-occupied Austria. Ferdinand Benischke became to the first mayor after the war from 1945 to 1962.
