About Ridgefield Park
Ridgefield Park is a compact riverfront village where the Hackensack River meets Overpeck Creek, crossed by I-80, I-95/the New Jersey Turnpike, and US 46. It grew up as a railroad village — the former New York, Susquehanna & Western and West Shore depots still stand — and is now a bus commuter town with a walkable Main Street. Samsung's North American headquarters campus at 85 Challenger Road is a major local employer and landmark.
