A Short History of Ridgefields...

The concept of a country club and golf course surrounded by a subdivision was conceived in the 1930's and came to fruition in 1950. Mr. Earle Sumner Draper prepared the Ridgefields plan in 1930 or 1931 and he described it as his largest venture in Kingsport with the area having approximately 2000 acres, nestled between Bays Mountain and the Holston River. The area now known as Ridgefields Neighborhood was the Ridgefields Farm, owned by Mr. C.P. Edwards. The farm was once home to cows, horses, peacocks, and quail. The white, two-story farmhouse overlooked the river and was located near the present day golf shop at The Club at Ridgefields.

Original access to the area was by Riverport Road. However, when the road would wash out, the only access was a ferry at the base of Ridgefields Country Club until the Ridgefields Road bridge was built. The bridge is named in memory of Mr. C.P. Edwards. The neighborhood was annexed in the late 1960's. According to census tract data for 1980, Ridgefields was the most properous neighborhood with the average income being $40,000.

The area around Ridgefields Neighborhood has grown to include other single family homes and condominiums such as Chippendale Square, Ridgefields Manor, Fleetwood Manor, The Birches, Huntington Hills, Huntington Woods, and Amersham.
