Our World of Text was originally created by [[Andrew Badr]] on June 8th, 2010. Around the time Andrew had imposed rate limits on Your World of Text, so in order to appease scripters he made a copy of YWOT  where they had complete freedom.  

The first version of OWOT was shut down on August 20th, 2015 due to funding issues. But soon after, an effort sprung up to revive the site, with YWOT user '''InfraRaven''' being handed ownership of the ourworldoftext.com domain. The OWOT revival introduced key features, such as colors and the global chat.

The beta for this second version of OWOT began in Summer of 2016, with the client being finalized in November of that year. The revival would be ill-fated, however, and was shut down in Winter of 2016.

But around the same time, a 13 year old YWOT user known as '''FP''' had begun working on his own [https://github.com/system2k/OldNodeWorldOfText version] of OWOT.<ref>https://ourworldoftext.com/Interview_with_FP</ref> Upon discovering this, InfraRaven agreed to host the new OWOT on a spare server. 

The third and current iteration of the site was opened on October 8th, 2017. An official discord was created by FP two days later, and it has since become a core pillar of the OWOT community.

An OWOT wiki was created on January 17th, 2023. Currently it is rather sparse in content, with many pages being stubs and users engaging in frequent edit wars over community drama.

OWOT was made [https://github.com/system2k/nodeworldoftext open source] on February 25th, 2023, allowing anyone to run their own instance of the site.

In October of 2023, on the sixth anniversary of the current OWOT, FP agreed to an [https://ourworldoftext.com/Interview_with_FP interview] with user AndreiXYZ, providing valuable information on the creation of the site.
