Eschlikon is a municipality in the district of Münchwilen in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland.
==History== Eschlikon is first mentioned in 1280 as Aeslikon. During the Middle Ages, most of Eschlikon (except for the farms of a few free peasants) belonged to the monastery of Magdenau and Heiliggeistspital in St. Gallen. Eschlikon was part of the high courts of Tuttwilerberg. From the Late Middle Ages until 1798 it was the home of the Swiss Confederation Governor in Thurgau or his appointed Vogt.
