Women from the American West who lived on The Great Plains invented whitewash at around 1865 they lived in 'sod' houses, houses made of dirt and mud because there was no wood to build cabins.
Whitewash kept out bugs and other insects and it also helped kill other bacteria, although it was the best they could do with little resources.

I think you'll find that whitewash has been around for a long time. The word is recorded as far back as the late 16th century, and is used in the King James Bible. So it's probably older than either of those records.
