The Story of Pine Ridge

Have you ever wondered how places get their names? Pine Ridge got its name because of the nature around it! Long ago, when people first settled here, they saw lots of tall pine trees growing on a high area, like a ridge. So, they decided to call their new community "Pine Ridge." It was a simple way to describe the beautiful forest and the elevated land where they built their homes.
