Neustadt was founded in 1250 by the Princes of Fürstenberg. Fürstenberg is the name of a noble house in Germany, based primarily in southern Baden-Württemberg. There followed various name changes: the town was called Nova Civitas in 1275 (which has the same meaning in Latin – "New City" – as the German name Neustadt), in 1294 Neuwenstadt, in 1335 Neuwen-statt, in 1630 Neostadium and in 1650 New-Statt before it later became Neustadt.
