Ridgefield's History
Preservation of stories about our past does not happen accidentally. As Ridgefield continues to grow, it is important to preserve and celebrate our history so that everyone can feel a sense of belonging and pride for our city.
Several organizations in our community are contributing to this work, including the City of Ridgefield, Ridgefield Main Street, Clark County Historical Museum, Ridgefield Heritage Society, Ridgefield Community Library, and the Port of Ridgefield.
We're sharing "Stories of Ridgefield" as part of an effort to preserve and promote information about our city's past. If you have a story you would like to share, please submit it here.
