The name Aldie was bestowed on the town in honor of the Scottish ancestral home of the Mercers. As the surrounding infrastructure continued to grow, so did the Village of Aldie, which had its own Post Office by 1811. According to the 1820 Census, Aldie had 248 residents by then.
The Battle of Aldie was staged in the village and the surrounding areas during the Gettysburg Campaign, which was where Confederate army battalion commander John Singleton Mosby lived.
