In 1354 Ketterschwalbach was first mentioned in a document. At that time the place name was Ketzirswalebach . It is unclear whether the name of the place is derived from "Heretic" or St. Catherine (Käthe or Kett).
The small Protestant church was built in 1483. A school is first mentioned in 1688. There is a village community center with a barbecue area in the village .
On December 31, 1971, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the former municipalities of Beuerbach, Kesselbach, Ketternschwalbach, Limbach, Strinz-Trinitatis and Wallbach voluntarily merged to form the new municipality of Hünstetten. Local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were formed for all formerly independent communities . In the centrally located Wallbach, a new building complex was built for the municipal administration.
