Yes, that is the Ridgewood situation, as I said, a whole other topic.Ridgewood was served through the Brooklyn Post office since it began, long before "zip codes". It used to be "Brooklyn 27", and again, even though in Queens. It is also the reason that Much of Ridgewood retains it's original street names, instead of the Queens street numbering system. Those streets also retained their brooklyn address numbers too. For example, Madison Street's address continue in the 1XXX series right to Forest Ave, which is many blocks into queens. On the other side of Forest, it jumps to 60-XX, which is of course in the Queens numbering system. You could spend a whole thread on Ridgewood and it's streets and addresses, and I didn't want to totally confuse people, so that's what I said Ridgewood is an anormality in Queens, which it is. But yes, Ridgewood got it's first QUeens zip code in the early 80's, to disassociate from Brooklyn (Bushwick) which was burning next to it. |
