4 Biography/History The area that is known as Aston Township was incorporated as a township of Chester County in 1688 and became a part of Delaware County when the latter county was established in Known as Northley until 1687, the township's name was reportedly changed to Aston by the constable as an homage to his former home in Oxfordshire, England. Mount Hope Methodist Church, the first church on record in Aston, was built in During the 19th century, Aston was home to various mills along Chester Creek, including cotton, wool, and paper mills. Eventually, low water and freezing temperatures led to the mills ceasing operations. Several small villages in Aston, including Aston Mills, Village Green, and Rockdale, had their own post offices in the 19th century. Since the 19th century, Aston's boundaries have been altered multiple times. In 1842, a portion of Aston Township was annexed to nearby Thornbury Township. As the result of a proposed tax increase in 1945, residents in the northwestern part of Aston seceded from the township to form the Borough of Chester Heights. Sometime between 1958 and 1960, the area known as Bridgewater Farms in nearby Chester Township became part of Aston Township, although the children in this area had to attend schools in Chester Township for another ten years. In the 20th century, a number of institutions were established in Aston to support the needs of its residents. Our Lady of Angels College, a liberal arts college for young women, was established by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia in It's name was changed to Neumann College in 1980 when the college became co-educational, and again in 2009 to Neumann University when it achieved university status. The Aston Township Library was founded in Twenty years later, the library moved into the Aston Community Center to accommodate its need for more space. As of 2015, Aston continues to operate as a close-knit community, celebrating various anniversaries of its community institutions and organizations and communicating with its residents through its local newsletter, the Township Times established in Bibliography: Dougherty, Paul L. and Ruth M.
