Through the Years History of North Ridgeville 1810 to 1960 by William Noll

Description

North Ridgeville started as a small settlement in 1810 with a few settlers from Connecticut. They had to face a land that was heavily wooded, had a lot of low boggy areas as well as wild animals and cold weather. They prospered through the years to build a community that had schools, churches, and a government. In later years they needed to fight to get city amenities like water and road construction and maintenance. They fought off a bid of annexation. They created the fire and police departments.
