North Ridgeville is a city located along the eastern border of Lorain County, Ohio, United States. The city's population was 29,465 at the 2010 census. A west side suburb of Cleveland, North Ridgeville was the fastest-growing city in the entire Greater Cleveland area. Located from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and west of downtown Cleveland. North Ridgeville is the third-largest city in Lorain County, and the 50th most-populated city in Ohio. ==History== The first settlement of what is now North Ridgeville was in 1810 by immigrants from Waterbury, Connecticut. The township was organized three years later in 1813, and was originally a part of Cuyahoga County, but in 1824 Cuyahoga County was reduced in size, thus creating Huron, Lake, and Lorain Counties. Ridgeville Township thus became part of present day Lorain County. Ridgeville Township kept its name until 1958 when it incorporated as a village. By this time, various types of police protection, which came in Constables, Deputy Sheriff's, and the State Highway Patrol, had been used. In August 1960, the population was sufficient to permit the township to be renamed as the city of North Ridgeville, however the local post office was first called "North Ridgeville" in 1829. At the same time a new city council was established, and a permanent police department succeeded the Township Constable before it. The first officer to be selected was Emory C. Hershey, who had served as constable from 1944 to 1959, and was the police chief from 1960 until 1965. In October 1959, Thomas P. Richards was selected as the first patrolman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Ridgeville, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
