The place was first mentioned in a document in 1469, namely “Hz. Gerhard von Jülich-Berg gives the Rutger Haken Mahlzwang over 22 houses near Radevormwald. "The spelling of the first mention was" Wellershuyssen "

In 1715 a farm on the Topographia Ducatus Montani is labeled with the place name "Wellershus". The topographical recording of the Rhineland from 1825 shows the village in a delimited courtyard with several building floor plans. The place name is here "Wellershausen".

The village is located directly on the section of the Bergische Landwehr passing in the northeast , which stretched from Wuppertal-Elberfeld to Marienheide-Krommenohl. The Landwehr secured the Bergische territory from incursions from the Märkische. The local researcher Gerd Helbeck dates the emergence of this Landwehr to the early 14th century.
