The Dreckloch farm was mentioned in a document on March 2, 1563 as a dirty look and was part of the Lower Honschaft Haan in the Bergisch Amt of Solingen in the early modern period . The place name can be traced back to the significant amount of peat mining carried out on site from the Middle Ages until 1845 .

In the municipality register from 1895 Dreckloch is listed as a Haaner place in the Mettmann district. It was part of the Spörkelbruch court group .
