Askome belonged to Årstad hundred. The name consists of two parts, ask and ome. Ask comes from ash, while ome means home and is common in hallandic placenames, in particular in vicinity of the village. The name is first mentioned in 1523. Letters from the following decades show that the village came to belong to Hjuleberg.

The current church was built in 1780 and a tower was added in 1804. The parish was merged with Alfshög and Vessigebro parishes in 2006 to form a new parish, Vessige.[2][3] The old parish had about 200 inhabitants.
