The Village of Ardsley was originally inhabited by the Weckqueskecks, a branch of the Mohican tribe of the Algonquin nation.
Ashford Avenue was once a trail used by the Indians to travel from the Hudson River to Long Island Sound.
There was a sawmill and grist mill on the Sawmill River, a blacksmith shop, and by the time of the Civil War, three pickle factories.
In 1883, since there already was an Ashford Post Office in the state, the Village name was changed to Ardsley.
On March 2, 1883 the first Postmaster was appointed.

The community was named for the estate of Cyrus W. Field, whose company laid telegraph cable across the Atlantic.

The Village was incorporated in 1896. By 1898 the population had grown to 372.
On December 6, 1914 fire devastated the center of the Village.

Many streets, buildings etc. are named for our villages early citizens & leaders: Northfield & Southfield Aves, King Street, Addyman Square & McDowell Park to name just a few.
