The municipality borders Rosenberg to the north, the town of Ellwangen to the northeast, Rainau to the east, Hüttlingen to the south, Abtsgmünd to the southwest, and Adelmannsfelden to the west.

Neuler was first documented in 1113. In 1746, the baroque parish church was built on the foundations of a Gothic church. The town originally belonged to the Prince-Provostry of Ellwangen. With secularization resulting from the Principal Conclusion of the Imperial Deputation in 1803, the Prince-Provostry, including Neuler, fell to the Electorate of Württemberg, which became the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806. In accordance with the new administrative division, Neuler was assigned to the Oberamt of Ellwangen. As part of the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg, Neuler came under the Aalen district in 1938. After World War II, Neuler belonged to the postwar state of Württemberg-Baden, founded in 1945 in the American occupation zone, from 1945 to 1952. In 1952, the municipality became part of the new state of Baden-Württemberg. In the postwar years, the formerly agriculturally characterized town developed into a workers' residential community. [5] Through the district reform of 1973, Neuler became part of the newly created Ostalbkreis district.
On 1 January 1977, the area of the village of Schwenningen, which had belonged to the neighboring municipality of Rainau, was incorporated. [6]
The population figures from 1852 to 1970 are census results [7] and from 1980 onwards official updates from the Statistical State Office.
