History of Eastvale
Eastvale was once known as "Fetterman." It officially became a borough on July 1, 1892. This means it became its own local government, separate from the bigger townships around it. The first time the government counted everyone living there was in 1900, and 256 people were recorded.
A post office served the community from 1897 to 1901. After that, mail for Eastvale has been handled by the Beaver Falls post office nearby.
The first bridge connecting Eastvale to Beaver Falls was built in the 1880s. This bridge was later replaced by the Eastvale Bridge in 1962, which is still used today. For a long time, Eastvale's economy depended on a factory that made bricks. This brickworks was located at the southern end of the borough, but it closed down by the mid-1970s.
