[edit] History[1]
Northwestern was created in 1951 from a merger of the school districts in Chester Township, Congress, and West Salem. The school name came from the district's northwestern location within Wayne County. Chester basketball coach Roy Bates chose the school colors of blue and gray, which were the result of having to make do with the basketball uniforms of Chester (blue) and Congress (gray). Bates would also become the basketball coach at Northwestern, and he also picked the nickname of "Huskies" as well.
