Park Ridge Public Library
A History of Park Ridge, 1841-1926
Park Ridge Public Library, as a participant in the North Suburban Library System's Digital Past project, has digitized The History of Park Ridge, 1841-1926, compiled by the Park Ridge Community Church Circle. It was published in 1926 by the Edison Press in Chicago, Illinois.
The first official history of Park Ridge, this book relates the beginnings of Park Ridge up to when it really started to grow into a city. Orvis F. Jordan used this book as a starting point for the later A History of Park Ridge published in 1961 and also available through Digital Past.
Among the 115 pages of The History of Park Ridge, 1841-1926 are thirty-five illustrations and photographs of early Park Ridge.
