C. Chandler & Co.'s Business Directory For Indiana RIDGEVILLE. An enterprising town in Randolph county, nine miles from Winchester, the county seat. It is situated in a beautiful and rich country, but made slow progress until within the last two years, during which time the Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central railroad has been completed through the place and given it a new impetus, and it now has a good representation of the different trades and professions, several church organizations, fine schools, two hotels, several mills, manufactories, &c. Population about 600. The Ridgeville College, a flourishing institution under the patronage of the Free Will Baptists, is located here. Bakery. Richards Casper, Main Blacksmiths.
