Norridge, IL
The name "Norridge" was suggested by resident Mrs. Link. "Nor" from Norwood Park Township and "Ridge" from the nearby suburb of Park Ridge, and joining them together to make the name Norridge.
In the early nineteen hundreds, the area that is now Norridge had many small truck farms and in the early thirties and forties had many riding stables because of the proximity to the Forest Preserves. All of these were displaced in the late forties & fifties when the land was developed for homes and some light industries.
