Zu dieser Zeit hat das Dorf 21 Einwohner, wobei oftmals nur die freien Bürger gezählt wurden. 1712 ist Niederursel noch immer geteiltes Dorf und die damaligen Herren des Ortes, Frankfurt und Solms, einigen sich auf die Hauptstraße (jetzt in Alt-Niederursel) als Trennlinie ihres Herrschaftsbereiches. Im Süden ist für Gesetz und Ordnung Solms zuständig, im Norden die freie Reichsstadt Frankfurt. 1806 fällt der Solms'sche Anteil von Niederursel an das Großherzogtum Hessen.
