Fact text
- Ringwood Borough was literally named after an iron mining company, not a ring, not a wood, just good old industrial branding.
- George Washington visited Ringwood Manor multiple times, as his mapmaker Robert Erskine ran ironmaking operations there during the Revolution.
- Ringwood iron helped forge the famous Hudson River Chain, a massive barrier stretched across the river to block British warships.
- Ringwood State Park is home to the New Jersey Botanical Garden at Skylands, tucked inside a 4,444-acre park in the Ramapo Mountains.
