Ardsley and some of the surrounding area was originally home to the Weckqueskecks branch of the Mahicans; the present-day road named Ashford Avenue was originally part of a trail from the Long Island Sound to the Hudson River. The Weckqueskecks were driven out by Dutch and English colonists by the late 1600s, and the land became included in the 52,000 square acre manorial estate of Frederick Phillipse, a Dutch merchant and carpenter. Phillipse's heir and grandson, a loyalist, fled his holdings during the American Revolution. The entirety of the estate was seized by the new government, and was sold in portions to patriots who had been tenants of the Phillipse 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. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
