Originally known as "Fetterman",[4] Eastvale was incorporated from parts of North Sewickley and Pulaski townships on July 1, 1892.

Eastvale's economy was long dependent on a brickworks at the borough's southern end, which closed by the mid-1970s.

[6] Eastvale consists primarily of a strip of land along the Beaver River, far longer than it is wide.

Across the Beaver River to the west, Eastvale runs adjacent with Beaver Falls and has a direct connection via Eastvale Bridge, which is also part of the borough's main road of Pennsylvania Route 588[7] As of the 2000 census,[9] there were 293 people, 125 households, and 81 families residing in the borough.

The racial makeup of the borough was 96.93% White, 1.71% African American, and 1.37% from other races.

31.2% of all households were made up of individuals, and 10.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

About 9.2% of families and 8.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 13.5% of those under the age of eighteen and none of those sixty-five or over.
