By 1890, Eden had a general store, a jeweler, a saloon, a Baptist church (organized in 1886), and a population exceeding 100. Landmarks include Eden Detention Center. Eden is the birthplace of James Earl Rudder, recipient of the Purple Heart medal.
The earliest settlers were the family of Harvey and Louisa McCarty. Frederick Ede and his family moved to the area around 1881. In 1882, Ede donated 40 acres (16 ha) of land to be used as a townsite and to build a town square. The following year, a post office was established and was named "Eden", an adaptation of Frederick Ede's name.
By 1890, Eden had a general store, a jeweler, a saloon, a Baptist church (organized in 1886), and a population exceeding 100. A newspaper, The Eden Echo, was founded in 1906. That same year, a bank was established. Telephone service arrived about 1907, and a public well and windmill were installed in 1908.
Eden was incorporated on February 4, 1911. That same year, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway completed a 98 mi (158 km) line between Eden and Lometa, located east of Eden.
By 1914, Eden had a restaurant, two general stores, two hotels, two cotton gins, two lumber companies, two hardware stores, a Baptist church, and a Methodist church. Its population was 600.
Eden became a trading center for wool and mohair after 1925, as sheep and goat ranching in the area increased. Local ranchers also began raising cattle, as well as polo ponies for eastern markets.
In 1961, the first F-105 fighter-bomber delivered to the U.S. Air Force 49th Tactical Fighter Wing was named the Kordel-Eden, after Kordel, Germany, and the pilot's hometown of Eden, Texas.
