The area was first mentioned in a document on October 17, 837, when Erp, son of Aldrik , gave the Werden abbey between Podrebeci (Porbecke) and Farnthrapa (Felderbach) a clearing in the Waneswald . In 1005 there were the Huxel and Haselbeck farms in Niederelfringhausen, which were subject to tax .

The place Elfrinchusen is mentioned by name for the first time in 1253. According to the treasury of Grafschaft Mark from 1486, the Elfringhausen peasantry belonged to the Blankenstein , Gogericht and Hattingen parishes and had 24 taxable farm owners, with taxes between half and five gold gulden . The following farms are mentioned in Niederelfringhausen: "four Huxel farms, Rischen Hof, Obere Blume, Böhnkes Hof, Haselbeck, Niederlaak, Oberlaak and two Bemberg farms".

After the dissolution of the county of Mark , Nieder- and Oberelfringhausen belonged to the Sprockhövel Office (1815 Prussia , Province of Westphalia ) until 1824 , and from 1825 to the Hattingen-Land Office as independent communities of Nieder- and Oberelfringhausen. In 1858 Niederelfringhausen had 417 inhabitants, but because of the poor living and working conditions, more and more families later left their traditional home and moved to surrounding communities.

In Niederelfringhausen, which is characterized by agriculture, cattle and forestry, there were also iron cottages, where nails and other small iron parts were forged in homework. House ribbon weavers were first mentioned in a document in 1822 and many residents ( Kötter ) made their living from ribbon weaving . While the knitters in Oberelfringhausen processed cotton and linen, those from Niederelfringhausen mainly woven silk.
