The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

New Ringgold is a borough in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 253 at the time of the 2020 census. ZIP Code 17960 serves the borough and portions of East Brunswick Township and West Penn Township. The town serves as a crossroad between state routes 443 and 895. The crossroads create a minor problem for trucks turning onto PA 895, because there is no stop light and cars are not required to stop. The Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad runs through the heart of the town.

New Ringgold was established in 1867. Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 276 to 253 (-8%). Half of its homes were built before 1938.
