Ridgewood, Residential village in Bergen County, United States.

Situated along the Saddle River, Ridgewood spans 5.80 square miles of land with tree-lined streets and maintained residential neighborhoods.

Dutch farmers established settlements in the area during the late 1600s, with Johannes Van Emburgh constructing the first residence on 250 acres in 1700.

The Old Paramus Reformed Church, built around 1800 and modified in 1875, stands as a central religious and historical structure in the community.

The Ridgewood train station provides direct rail connections to Hoboken Terminal and New York City through NJ Transit services.

General Charles Lee faced a military court-martial at the Old Paramus Reformed Church in 1778 following the Battle of Monmouth Court House.
