Like many small communities in Howard County, West Friendship developed slowly as settlers moved west.

Stein's history (1972) lists land grants given to families whose descendants live in the area today. The families of Warfield, Ridgely, Selby, Hobbs, Cross, and Cissel helped create what is now West Friendship.
