Ridgewood Savings Bank on Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, April 2007

107-55 Queens Blvd
Forest Hills, NY 11375

Way back in 1920, a group of fourteen local Ridgewood residents got together with the idea of forming a new mutual savings institution to serve the people of their community. Working purely towards the common good and without regard for personal gain, our founders had high hopes for the success of the bank formed "for the people, by the people."

And it worked. The people of the surrounding communities responded with such zeal that Ridgewood Savings Bank weathered the cataclysm of the great depression and was soon able to expand.

In 1940 the bank took the first of many strong steps forward with the opening of a branch in Forest Hills, Queens. Other branches quickly followed and today you'll find Ridgewood Savings Bank in neighborhood communities throughout the New York Metropolitan area-from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on the western end of Long Island to West Babylon in Suffolk County.
