In 1967 the market town (köping) of Laxå (instituted in 1946) was merged with two adjacent rural municipalities. One of them was transferred from the former Skaraborg County, placing today's municipality in two historical provinces, Närke and Västergötland.
Its history stretches back to the 12th century, when the convent Ramundeboda was founded about 4 km west of the town.
The Tiveden National Park is partly situated within the municipality.
