Aldan Union Church- A bulwark of the Community

Founded: July 14, 1915, The church met at Neighbor's Hall until the Church of Christ building on Woodlawn Avenue vacated in 1920.

By 1922, the congregation had grown out of the small building and a lot became available on Providence Road and Clifton Avenue.

In this photograph from 1990, you can see how huge the congregation had become since 1915.

Welcome to Aldan Borough's History


Starting this week, I'll be posting some small tit bits of Aldan History that I've collected so far. The project I'm currently working on is scanning Aldan Sun newsletters, so I'll be sharing those tit-bits that I get from them for now.

No pictures yet....but maybe I'll have some soon. I know that there has to be more information out there that is buried about Aldan. It will take a lot of digging to find it before it disappears forever.
