Ridgewood Avenue the Heart of Downtown Business District

Rapid population growth at the turn of the century fueled the development of a diverse central business district. By 1930, the population had reached 12,188 and the downtown commercial center had begun to encroach on neighboring residential zones. By 1972, Ridgewood's population was over 27,500 and the mature downtown area was fully developed within its present boundaries.
