The site of Baden was the location of [[Logstown]], a Native American village.

The oldest recorded house in Baden was built in the early 1800s, and it became a stopping place for farmers on their way to [[Pittsburgh]] to sell their livestock. Baden was founded as a village in 1838 and was named after the [[Germany|German]] resort town of [[Baden-Baden]] at the border of the [[Black Forest]].<ref name="history">{{cite web|title=A History of Baden|url=http://badenborough.com/sample-page/a-history-of-baden/|publisher=Baden Borough|access-date=December 28, 2016|archive-date=December 29, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229042420/http://badenborough.com/sample-page/a-history-of-baden/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Early on, Baden was home to boat building yards, quarries, a [[lath]] mill and a [[gristmill]]. After Baden was established as a borough in 1858, it grew with the appearance of steel mills and oil wells in the area as well as the growth of the railroads, including the nearby [[Conway Yard]], now operated by [[Norfolk Southern]].<ref name=history/>
