Etymology and history

The name Howarde is probably derived from Hohe Warte . From the high location one had a wide view of the landscape.

Howarde was first mentioned in a document in 1557, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 1050 and 1200 as a result of the clearing phase after the high medieval territorial formation. Howarde was a split from the Winkhof court.

In 1818 eight residents lived in the village. According to the table of localities and distances from the government district of Arnsberg , Howarde was categorized as a farm and in 1838 had a population of 19, all of whom were Protestant. The place belonged to the Halveran village farmers within the mayor's office Halver and owned two houses, a factory or mill and an agricultural building.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 17 inhabitants who lived in two houses.
