About Ridgely

Ridgely is a quiet Eastern Shore community in Caroline County with around 1,600 residents. The town got its start in the late 1800s around the area's first railroad line, quickly earning fame as a major strawberry shipping hub. That history still shapes the town today, from its unusually wide, walkable main street to the restored train station at Railroad Memorial Park. It offers a relaxed, small-town pace where locals still look forward to gathering every May for the annual Strawberry Festival.
