The read Ridgewood in short
Ridgewood sits directly on the Brooklyn-Queens border — the Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues station (L, M) literally straddles it. Blocks of turn-of-the-century rowhouses and a low-rise, once-industrial character set it apart from its more built-up neighbors. The Vander Ende-Onderdonk House on Flushing Avenue, a fieldstone farmhouse built in 1709, is the oldest Dutch Colonial stone house in New York City, and behind it sits Arbitration Rock, the boundary marker that settled a long-running Kings-Queens border dispute after a 1769 survey.
