The first house was built by Eli Moore and was used for a tavern and a store. Previous to 1820 the village contained a tavern, currier, blacksmith, boot and shoe shops, doctors and lawyers offices, and several other buildings. A post office was established in Ridgeway in 1816 under the name of Oak Orchard with Elijah Hawley as postmaster. [1]
