Railroad service through Park Ridge began on May 27, 1871 with the final extension of the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad from Hillsdale station in New Jersey to the junction with the Erie Railroad Piermont Branch at Nanuet.^[3] However, in order to establish a stop in Park Ridge, the railroad requested Washington Township residents fund the construction of a new depot.^[7]
