In 1599, the Duke of Württemberg established a managed forest in Enzklösterle, which would have a lasting impact on the region's economy.

In 1826, Enzklösterle, which had been an estate of Wildberg, was made an independent municipality and was assigned to Oberamt Neuenbürg [de].

Enzklösterle is physically located in the valley of the Großen Enz, in the Northern Black Forest and Grinde regions.

The abandoned villages of Birkenäckerle, Boppelseehaus, Kaltbronn, and Zwickgabel are also located in the municipal area.

The raft is a reference to Enzklösterle's history of forestry, and the wavy bend the river Enz.
