The village of Ardsley, within the town of Greenburgh, is located in Westchester County. Within the 1.32 sq miles that make up the quaint village, there is fascinating historical significance.
Before European settlers found Ardsley, the area was inhabited by the Wickquasgeck Indians, Eastern Algonquian Munsee-speaking Native American people from southern New York and western Connecticut.
Once the Dutch settlers arrived, the land was purchased by Frederick Philipse in 1682, but in 1785 the state of New York confiscated the land from his grandson, Frederick Philipse III.
The village of Ardsley, previously named village of Ashford, was named for the main road where notable businesses had been established upon the Saw Mill River. The town adopted the name ‘Ardsley’ after a local baron’s estate in 1883. The renaming of Ardsley is attributed to Cyrus West Field, who had named Ardsley Park after the birthplace of his ancestor, Zechariah Field, who immigrated to America in 1629.
