In its earliest days, the place belonged to the Bishopric of Mainz, with several churches, monasteries and noblemen holding estates there.

A Berthold von Flamburn and his wife Christine were enfeoffed by the Archbishop Baldwin of Luxembourg of Trier, who then was the administrator of the Archiepiscopal Foundation of Mainz, with their estate, house and garden in the village of Flamborn in 1335 for 100 pounds in Hellers for a castle fief in Biebelnheim.

As early as 1378 a man named Rucker from Eppelsheim received ten Malter (roughly 1 280 L) of woodland corn from Count Palatine Ruprecht the Elder as a fief.

The municipality’s own webpage, however, shows a slightly different coat of arms, with the fish’s fins in the tincture Or (gold).

Flomborners deemed the fees on livestock for slaughter raised by the Occupiers after the Second World War much too high.

A well known song in the village, sung at Carnival (locally known as Fastnachtzeit), tells of this story: Und will mal einer schlachten, da gibt es ein groß´ Malör, wo nehm ich nur ein Schweinchen her, meins ist doch viel zu schwer.
