The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Ridge Hill High School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

After a mayoral election in 2025, seven town employees resigned, including the public works director and police chief. The police chief's successor faced disputes in 2026 over the damaging of 14 Flock cameras. An attempt to seek a warrant over an online expletive surrounding Flock cameras in September 2026 resulted in the criticism of the town's local police department.
