Ridgefield Township was a township that existed in Bergen County, New Jersey.
 The township was created in 1871, when Hackensack Township was trisected to form Palisades Township in the northernmost third, Englewood Township in the central strip and Ridgefield Township encompassing the southernmost portion, stretching from the Hudson River on the east to the Hackensack River, with Hudson County to the south.
 Much of the area had been during the colonial area known as the English Neighborhood.
 As described in the 1882 book, "History of Bergen and Passaic counties, New Jersey," "Ridgefield is the first township in Bergen County which the traveler enters in passing up the Palisades.
 His first impressions are much like those of old Hendrick Hudson in speaking of a wider extent of country: "A very good land to fall in with, and a pleasant land to see."
 The valley of the Hackensack invited early settlers in the seventeenth century, and the valley of the Overpeck Creek, a navigable arm of the Hackensack, also attracted settlers quite as early in this direction.
 Sloops and schooners can pass up this creek nearly to the northern boundary of the township.
 Ridgefield is bounded on the north by Englewood, on the east by the Hudson, on the south by Hudson County, and on the west by the Hackensack River.
 The southern boundary is less than two miles in extent, and the northern less than four, and the length of the township from north to south does not exceed four miles.
 Bellman's Creek, forming part of the southern boundary, the Hackensack, the Overpeck, the Hudson, with more than a dozen other smaller streams and rivulets, bountifully supply the whole township with water.
 From the western border of the Palisades the land descends to the Overpeck, forming a most beautiful valley, with the land again rising to a high ridge midway between the Overpeck and the Hackensack.
 From this long ridge, extending far to the north beyond this township, it took its name of Ridgefield.
<br><br>The New York, Susquehanna and Western, formerly the Midland Railroad, the Jersey City and Albany Railroad, and the Northern Railway of New Jersey—all running northward through the township— afford ample railroad accommodations.
 The Susquehanna enters the township at Bellman's Creek, and the Northern at about one hundred feet south of the creek, and at a point north and east of the Susquehanna.
 The Albany road in this locality is not yet constructed, diverging at present from the track of the Susquehanna between Little Ferry and Bogota stations.
 It has, however, an independent line projected and now under construction to New York City.
<br><br>Early Settlements.
 Ridgefield embraces the earliest settlements in the ancient township of Hackensack, antedating even the organization of that township in 1693, and of the county of Bergen in 1675.
 There seems to have been no town or village compactly built, like the village of Bergen, but there were settlements both of Dutch and English in and about what was subsequently known as English Neighborhood prior to 1675.
 The Westervelts, the Zimcrmans, the Bantas, and the Blauvelts, all coming from Holland, settled in the middle of the seventeenth century in that locality.
 The ancestors of Jacob P. Westervelt, now of Hackensack Village, with himself, were born in English Neighborhood.
 His father was born there in 1776, and was the son of Christopher Westervelt, who was born there certainly as early as 1690, and he was the son of the original ancestor of this family, who came from Holland and settled on Overpeck Creek, within the present limits of Ridgefield township, probably about 1670."
The Boonslick, or Boone's Lick Country, is a cultural region of Missouri along the Missouri River that played an important role in the westward expansion of the United States and the development of Missouri's statehood in the early 19th century.
 The Boone's Lick Trail, a route paralleling the north bank of the river between St. Charles and Franklin, Missouri, was the primary thoroughfare for settlers moving westward from St. Louis in the early 19th century.
 Its terminus in Franklin marked the beginning of the Santa Fe Trail, which eventually became a major conduit for Spanish trade in the American Southwest.
 Later it connected to the large emigrant trails, including the Oregon and California Trails, used by pioneers, gold-seekers and other early settlers of the West.
 The region takes its name from a salt spring or "lick" in western Howard County, where Nathan and Daniel Morgan Boone, sons of famed frontiersman Daniel Boone, built a homestead in 1807.
Butmaroo is a locality near Bungendore, New South Wales.
 Butmaroo Homestead was occupied by the early settlers in the region and the name may have originated in the small endangered macropod Butmaroo which used to be common in the area.
Bungendore is a town in the Queanbeyan Region of New South Wales, Australia, in Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council.
 It is on the Kings Highway near Lake George, the Molonglo River Valley and the Australian Capital Territory border.
 It has become a major tourist centre in recent years, popular with visitors from Canberra and some of it has heritage protection.
 It has expanded rapidly in recent years as a dormitory town of Canberra.
The Capt. James Moore Homestead is an archaeological site in rural Tazewell County, Virginia.
 The site is located near Boissevain, and has both colonial and Native American significance.
 There was once a palisaded Native village from the Late Woodland period on the site, and it was chosen by James Moore, a local militia captain who was one of Tazewell County's early settlers, as the site of his homestead in 1772.
 Six years later he was killed by a Shawnee party that also took his family prisoner.
Quatrocentão (feminine "quatrocentona", plural "quatrocentões"), is a term used to designate members of elite families descendant from the early settlers and explorers of São Paulo.
 This term was first used in the early 20th century, in the past they were referred to as "primeiros povoadores" (first settlers) or "nobreza da terra" (nobility of the land).
 These families had occupied important positions as governors, military commanders, aldermen and explorers of early colonial South America.
 They received large land grants from the Portuguese Crown and originated mostly in Portugal and Spain, but some in Flanders and other places in Europe.
 A portion of the original settlers were noblemen of the Royal House of Portugal.
 Under the rule of the Habsburgs and the Iberian Union, they were joined by Spanish families, some also of noble origin.
 The earliest of these settlers married descendants of the Amerindian Chief of Piratininga, Martim Afonso Tibiriçá, and after intermarried frequently among the families in the Genealogia Paulistana, forming an endogamous group.
 They were first listed in a genealogical study in the 1700s by Pedro Taques de Almeida Paes Leme and last listed in the classical genealogical work Genealogia Paulistana, published in 1905.
