==History==
===Local History===
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.<ref>http://neuler.de/gemeinde/geschichte.php Geschichte Neulers</ref> Through the district reform of 1973, Neuler became part of the newly created [[Ostalbkreis district]].
===Incorporations===
On 1 January 1977, the area of the village of Schwenningen, which had belonged to the neighboring municipality of [[Rainau]], was incorporated.<ref>Statistisches Bundesamt (editor): ''Historisches Gemeindeverzeichnis für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
