history

Vorst was first mentioned in a document in the years 900 and 1130, but the date of origin of today's settlement is assumed to be in the period between 800 and 900 as a result of the early Franconian expansion period.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Vorst farm was liable to the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg . The jurisdiction of the court was subordinate to a Bergisch judge specially appointed for the Bergische Höfe in the otherwise Brandenburg- dominated parish of Halver, which often led to a dispute with the Brandenburg count actually responsible for the parish .

In 1818 32 people lived in the village. In 1838 Vorst belonged to the Eickhöfer peasantry under the name of Varst within the Halver mayor . The place, categorized as a courtyard according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , had six houses, a factory or mill and ten agricultural buildings at that time. At that time there were 43 residents in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 47 inhabitants who lived in eleven houses.

In the Middle Ages , Vorst was very likely a manor and mansion secured with a moat . However, no particular mansion or an associated noble family has come down to us.
