In 1934, bricks were found which on examination proved to belong to a villa, which was excavated and documented in 1941, and afterwards covered up again with the help of interned Polish soldiers.

In the middle of the 6th century, the Alamanni settled here and cleared the forest, destroying the Roman settlement.

Bellikon was first documented on October 11, 1064, in the foundation charter of Muri Abbey, though it was first individually mentioned in the 12th century as Pellikon.

[3] Bellikon and Hausen at first paid tithes to Murbach Abbey in Alsace, but was later part of the Habsburg territories.

In 1415, the Aargau was conquered and thereafter Bellikon belonged to the village of Rohrdorf in the County of Baden.

At the beginning of the 20th century Bellikon was a farming village with a population of 377; fifty years later it reached 434.

[4] The age distribution, as of 2008[update], in Bellikon is; 153 children or 10.1% of the population are between 0 and 9 years old and 168 teenagers or 11.1% are between 10 and 19.

[8] The historical population is given in the following table:[3] From the 2000 census[update], 642 or 49.3% are Roman Catholic, while 380 or 29.2% belonged to the Swiss Reformed Church.

[8] The arms are emblazoned: Azure, a castle with a stepped gable and to the sinister a round tower with a roof, all argent.

[10] In a chronicle of 1548 and the map of the Canton of Zürich of 1667, the village is mistakenly assigned the arms of the lords of Bellikon (now Bad Bellingen in the Breisgau) (Or, a fess sable).

In addition it carries out the resolutions of the municipality meeting and the tasks assigned by the canton and the Swiss Federation.

The largest business (and taxpayer) in the village is the Suva, which is a rehab clinic operating with over 200 beds.

Bellikon's busiest street is the road running between Baden and the Mutschellen pass.
