Village Of Ridgewood company history timeline

1894

Almost all of the 1894 municipalities were incorporated as Boroughs, the most common plan of municipal government in New Jersey.

Ridgewood is known for its excellent school system and is still using the Beech Street School, built in 1894 and is on the National Register of Historic Places, as its administrative headquarters.

1898

The first lending library was established in 1898 by a group of volunteers.

1899

As Ridgewood grew, so too did the amenities of the Village, including the establishment of a bank in 1899.

1909

However, the civic center was defeated in 1909 and the Village built a municipal building and firehouse at Hudson and Broad streets.

1910

Graydon Park, home of Graydon Pool, was established in 1910 and is still a popular summer destination.

1911

In 1911, Ridgewood reorganized for a second time adopting the Commissioner plan of municipal government, but retaining the name “Village”. The municipality was divided into three departments – Public Safety, Finance and Public Works.

1970

In 1970, Ridgewood recognized the need to professionalize municipal management and adopted the more modern Faulkner Act Council-Manager plan.

Ridgewood's residential areas were fully developed by 1970 and all vestiges of its agricultural past were gone, replaced by housing for commuters.

1998

That building was renovated and reopened in 1998 and today serves as a center of community life.
