The village of Ardsley was incorporated in 1896 and continued to grow at a steady pace until a fire in 1914 destroyed the village center. This prompted the establishment of a fire department. After this, two more population booms occurred - one during the depression and the end of World War I, the other after World War II. In the early 1900s, the city was home to a public high school. The current high school was built in 1957.
