The history of Export can be traced back to 1798 when a group of German immigrants settled in what is now Export. The town grew slowly at first but began to experience rapid growth starting in the early 1900s due to its location near major transportation routes such as Interstate 78 and U.S. Route 22. By 1950, Export had reached its peak population with over 4,000 residents. However, due to suburbanization and other factors, Export's population has since declined by over 50%. Today, there are only about 2,800 residents living in Export.

The economy of Export is largely based on agriculture and manufacturing.

In addition, export also has a number of small businesses that provide goods and services not related directly to tourism such as retail stores and hair salons.
