First unequivocally mentioned in 1324 as Evernhan, Ebernhahn is counted among the newer Westerwald villages, and through the Middle Ages, its name hardly cropped up at all.

Since 1971 it has belonged to what was then the newly founded Verbandsgemeinde of Wirges, a kind of collective municipality, and since 1974 it has been part of the Westerwaldkreis whose district seat is in Montabaur.

This gave rise to local passenger- and goods-moving businesses whose descendants can still be found today, long after clay quarrying ended.

On 11 March 1945, the community was bombed by the United States Army Air Forces; 52 people were killed and 32 buildings were thoroughly destroyed.

A decisive architectural feature resulting from this is the shifting of the altar from the sanctuary forwards to the centre of a half-circle consisting of four segments, made out of old pews.

On 22 April 2007, the square outside the multi-purpose hall in Ebernhahn, after a thorough remodelling, was given the name Place Marolles as an expression of the partnership.

The MGV "Thalia" gives its own concert every year on the Saturday before Palm Sunday at which other renowned choirs and ensembles are guests.

Each year, on the last weekend before the summer holidays, the music club gives an open-air serenade at the old village linden in the middle of the community.
