Ridgewood, Queens

Ridgewood is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. It borders the neighborhoods of Maspeth, Middle Village and Glendale, as well as the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Bushwick and East Williamsburg. Historically, the neighborhood straddled the Queens-Brooklyn boundary. The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 5.〔(Queens Community Boards ), New York City. Accessed September 3, 2007.〕
==History==
Originally, Ridgewood was part of the Dutch settlement Boswijk (Bushwick) and was later incorporated into the village of Breuckelen (now Brooklyn). A legacy of this past stands today; Onderdonk House, which was erected in 1709.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://onderdonkhouse.org/default.aspx )〕 The house is the oldest Dutch Colonial stone house in New York City. Also located at the Onderdonk House site is Arbitration Rock, which was a marker for the disputed boundary between Bushwick and Newtown and essentially Brooklyn and Queens.
Although the area was originally farmed and settled by the Dutch during the 18th and 19th centuries, it was the secondary wave of English settlers who named it Ridgewood after the area's green and hilly terrain. The development of public transportation, from horse-drawn cars in the mid-19th century and later trolleys and elevated trains, helped to spur residential and retail development.〔(New York Times: "A Neat Enclave Enriched by Waves of Immigrants" ) April 9, 2006〕 Most of the housing stock was built between 1905 to 1915 to house German immigrants who worked in the breweries and knitting factories that straddled the Queens-Brooklyn border.〔''WPA Guide to New York City: The Federal Writers' Project Guide to 1930s New York''. 1939.〕〔(New York Times: "The Germans Came; Now They Are Us; An Ethnic Queens Neighborhood Is Melting Away Into America" ) October 25, 2003〕 After World War I, the population expanded with an influx of Gottscheers (an ethnic German population from Slovenia who were dislocated in the aftermath of World War I) and Irish, followed soon after by Italians. In the mid 20th century, Romanians, Yugoslavs, and Puerto Ricans arrived; more recently, Poles, Dominicans,〔(New York Times: "Living in Ridgewood, Queens ) December 30, 2011〕〔("Growing up in Ridgewood, New York in the 1960’s–1970’s – Part 1" by Gerard Demarigny ) March 23, 2010〕〔(Polish Migrations: From Brooklyn to Queens, and back to Europe ) by Shuka Kalantari and Daniel Macht; retrieved January 1, 2012〕 and Ecuadorians (including a significant population of Quechua speaking Amerindians from the Imbabura and Cañar provinces of Ecuador) have put down roots.〔(All Peoples Initiative: Quichua in New York and New Jersey ) August 2007〕
