Schmerbach was first mentioned in 1327 as in the Smerberg . Smer ( ahd. Smero , mndd. Smer ) means fat in the sense of rich. The current place name indicates the location of the settlement on the Schmerbach of the same name. In the 18th century, the place belonged to the parish of Leichlingen in the Bergisches Amt Miselohe . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 shows the place as Schmerbacher M.
