What are the main landmarks in Ridgewood?
A park and a church make the whole list for Ridgewood. Ridgewood Park carries the neighbourhood's own name, and the second entry is St. Mary & St. Antonios Coptic Orthodox Church, the only other site catalogued inside an outline drawn by Maspeth, Middle Village, Glendale, Bushwick and East Williamsburg. That outline once ran across the Queens-Brooklyn line rather than stopping at it.
What is the history of Ridgewood?
Two boroughs once shared it. Ridgewood historically straddled the line between Queens and Brooklyn, and the neighbourhood that resulted still borders Maspeth and Middle Village on the Queens side while touching Bushwick and East Williamsburg on the Brooklyn side. Glendale sits at the south-eastern corner.
What the record keeps of the past is thin: no founding year, a park sharing the neighbourhood's name, and St. Mary & St. Antonios Coptic Orthodox Church.
Where is Ridgewood?
Two boroughs meet here. Ridgewood borders Maspeth to the north and Middle Village to the east, with Bushwick and East Williamsburg on the Brooklyn side.
