It was part of the parish of Sirnach until 1935 when it joined the Münchwilen-Eschlikon parish. The majority of the population are members of the Swiss Reformed Church (97% in 1850 and 73% in 1941). It is a typical industrial village on the eastern slope of the Tuttwil mountain and is connected by a ford and the Murgbrücke (built in 1774) with Münchwilen. The largest factory in the village is the former Sutter shoe polish factory, which after the death of Alfred Sutter went to Unilever and in 2002 was acquired by Johnson Diversey Schweiz. In 2009 the factory provided about 370 jobs in the village. Sankt Margarethen Sankt Margarethen was part of the Herrschaft of Lommis, which belonged to Fischingen Abbey between 1599 and 1798. The parish church was first mentioned in 1275 and in 1316 came under the authority of the Abbey. In 1362, the village was transferred to the parish of Sirnach. During the Counter-Reformation the former parish church was demolished in 1641 and rebuilt nearby. During the 17th and 18th Centuries the St. Margaretha chapel flourished as a pilgrimage church. The Reformed residents of the village joined the newly founded Münchwilen-Eschlikon parish in 1935. A mill existed in the village between 1474 and 1860, along with another mill in Mörikon from 1475 to 1918. Despite holding a market right since about 1711, markets were only irregularly held. In the 18th and 19th Centuries spinning, weaving and embroidery provided much of the local income. Swisstulle AG (founded in 1913, and until 2002 known as Schweiz. Gesellschaft für Tüllindustrie) and the light fixtures and metal goods factory Huco AG (founded 1927) dominate the industrial character of the village. Geography Münchwilen has an area, , of .
