The Birth of Ridgewood: 1865-1876

Posted by Event

Ridgewood Panorama

FEBRUARY 24, 7:30 PM

Hosted by historians Peggy Norris and Joe Suplicki.

Hear the tale of Ridgewood’s growth from farmland to suburbs and from post office to township.  Before we were a village, Ridgewood was a quiet area of farms. With the coming of the railroad, it began its transformation into a town—and it needed a name.

Learn about this interesting time in Ridgewood’s history and the controversy that swirled around naming it.

This is a free Zoom event. After registration, the link will be emailed the day before the event to each participant.

The museum is housed in a one-room schoolhouse that was built in 1872 and operated as a school until 1905. Now a museum that showcases local historic artifacts, the building is maintained by the Ridgewood Historical Society.

Originally called Public School district #45, the Schoolhouse Museum, the adjacent Old Paramus Church, and Valleau Cemetery, located across the street, are all on the National Register of Historic Places.
