History
Evidence of prehistoric settlement abound in Neufra and surrounding environs. Graves and ceramics from Neufra and Freudenweiler date from the Middle Bronze Age (c. 1500 BC) to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1200 BC). Other artifacts have been recovered from Hallstatt Culture sites. In more recent prehistory, Roman finds, dating from the Republic-era (c. 100 BC) were unearthed on the northern slope of Mount Ebinger.
The name "Neufra" probably derives from the Alemannic German "Niwifara" from the 6th or 7th century AD, which can be translated either "new family" or "new ford". In 1138 AD, the area's name was listed as "Nufiron" in the chronicle of Berthold of Zwiefalten.
