History
Prior to European settlement Ardsley and its surrounding area was inhabited by the Wickquasgeck tribe, a band of the Wappinger, related to the Lenape (Delaware) tribes which dominated lower New York state and New Jersey.
After the Dutch came to the area, the land was part of the Bisightick tract of the van der Donck grant purchased by Frederick Philipse in 1682, first lord of Philipsburg Manor. In 1781, during the American Revolutionary War, the Ardsley area was part of the Philipsburg Encampment of allied American and French forces. The Continental Army camped on both sides of Military Road (now Heatherdell Road), and George Washington's headquarters were at Appleby’s farmhouse (on present-day Secor Road). In 1785, the state of New York confiscated the land from the last lord of Philipsburg Manor, Frederick Philipse III, who was a prominent Loyalist, and sold it to local farmers who had been tenants of the Philipse family.
The village of Ashford was formed from some of these portions, named for the main road. Notable businesses included a blacksmith, and a sawmill and grist mill both situated upon the Saw Mill River. Three pickle factories were in operation by the Civil War, and in the 1880s the construction of the Putnam Railroad and New Croton Aqueduct led to a population boom which saw the installation of electric lighting and improved roads.
