Önsbach is located in northern Ortenau, south of the town of Achern. A third of the village lies in the Rhine valley and two thirds, in the western foothills of the Black Forest. Önsbach is located along Bundesstraße 3 (B 3).
The earliest documentary evidence of Önsbach appears in a 1225 Papal bull of Honorius III in which the town is called Ongersbac where the cloister of Ettenheim held property.
In 1230 there was mention of a "Hof" (courtyard or farmyard) in Ongisbach. Ortenau, in which Önsbach is located, became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden after the Fourth Peace of Pressburg (1805).
In 1844 a train station was built.
The modern spelling of the name was only decided upon in 1938.
The oldest known seal dates back to the 1830s. It consists of a birds foot with three fore-talons and one hind talon on a red background.
