24/7 Trauma and Biohazard Cleanup in Eastvale, PA

Eastvale is a borough in Beaver County that hugs the east bank of the Beaver River directly across from the city of Beaver Falls, within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area.

Eastvale was originally known as Fetterman, and it was incorporated on July 1, 1892, from parts of North Sewickley and Pulaski townships.

Eastvale is, by area, the smallest municipality in Beaver County — it consists mainly of a narrow strip of land along the Beaver River that is far longer than it is wide, totaling only about 0.12 square miles, a third of it water.

Eastvale's population peaked at 601 in 1930 and has fallen in every census since, down to 293 people in 125 households in 2000 and about 184 residents at the 2020 census.

The Eastvale Bridge, first built in the 1880s and replaced by the current span in 1962, carries Pennsylvania Route 588 — the borough's main road — across the river into Beaver Falls.

Eastvale's economy long depended on a brickworks at the southern end of the borough, which stayed in operation until it closed by the mid-1970s.

Eastvale had its own post office only briefly, from 1897 to 1901; ever since, the borough's mail has been served by the Beaver Falls post office.

Eastvale ran its own school district until the 1958 consolidation, and its children now attend the Big Beaver Falls Area School District.

Tiny Eastvale contracts out its essential services — the Beaver Falls Fire Department provides its fire protection, and it has contracted with Beaver Falls for police protection since 1997.
