==History==
Around the year 1800, the Red Tavern was built along the Old Reading Road, which ran from Catawissa to Reading. In 1865, the owner of the Red Tavern laid out a village which he called "Montana". When a post office was established here in 1897, the name of the town was changed to "Aristes", a contraction of the name Aristides, a Greek statesman.
In 1948, United Airlines Flight 624 hit a high-voltage powerline and crashed in Aristes. Notable victims of the crash included Broadway theatre impresario Earl Carroll and his girlfriend, actress Beryl Wallace; Henry L. Jackson, men's fashion editor of ''Collier's Weekly'' magazine and co-founder of ''Esquire'' magazine; and Venita Varden Oakie, the former wife of actor Jack Oakie.
