Godwinville[edit]

From RIDGEWOOD PAST and PRESENT page 9

Ira Munn, who was related to Abraham Godwin of Revolutionary memory, in his honor about this time gave to this part of Newtown the name Godwinville — a name it retained for nearly forty-five years.

Abraham Godwin, when a lad of from twelve to fifteen years of age, enlisted with his two brothers under Colonel Lewis Du Bois in the Fifth Regiment, New York State Line. He served from January 1, 1777, to January, 1782, reaching the grade of Fife-Major. One brother, Henry, became Captain of the Seventh Company of the Fifth Regiment, while the other brother, David, served as a drummer in Henry's Company.

After the war, and until his death on October 6, 1835, in the seventy-fourth year of his life, Abraham Godwin was the proprietor of the Passaic Hotel in Paterson.

The settlement of Godwinville progressed and soon covered the territory between Paramus and Newtown (Wortendyke) and included within its boundaries the present municipalities of Ridgewood. Glen Rock,and Midland Park.
