In 1818 there were 16 people living in the village. In 1838, Weißenpferd belonged to the Halver village farmers within the Halver mayor . According to the locality and distance table of the Arnsberg government district , the place called Hof had two houses, a factory or mill and an agricultural building at that time. At that time 19 residents lived in the village, one of them Catholic and 18 Protestant.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 75 inhabitants who lived in four houses.

An old road from Halver via Wipperfürth , Halver, Kierspe to Meinerzhagen ran past Weißenpferd on the route of the old state road 528 , the Hileweg , an important early medieval (according to other views already early historical ) trade , pilgrimage and military route .
