The town and its villages were founded over a thousand years ago. It is the seat of a psychiatric hospital, founded in late 19th century. During WWII the hospital was emptied and used by the Nazis as the Moringen concentration camp. Today it is again a psychiatric hospital.
Among the larger firms operating in the community is Piller, a maker of industrial fans. The Northeim district's major waste Landfill is in Moringen.
