History:
The man for whom shaler Township was named on its formation in March 1847 was Judge Charles Shaler, although the original intent had been to name it Marion Township.

Shaler Township originally stretched over the present Borough of Millvale and a part of Ross Township, Etna Borough and the present Shaler Township and adjoining lands.

Shaler Township lost part of its territory in 1868 when Etna Borough was incorporated. That same year, Shaler was further reduced by the incorporation of Millvale Borough.
