7300 W Irving Park Rd
Norridge, IL 60706

(The name "Norridge" was suggested by resident Mrs. Link. "Nor" from Norwood Park Township and "Ridge" from the nearby suburb of Park Ridge, and joining them together to make the name Norridge.

This Village of "Norridge" is the only community in the world named Norridge. This research was done, in 2002, by Colin Muffet for a friend, John Linford, who is the owner of the pub "The Marlborough Arms" of Norwich, England. Norwich is pronounced "Noritch" in the local Norfolk dialect. This curiosity came about as a result of John Linford buying, for his pub, an old Norridge village sign at an auction in the Netherlands. John is a collector of unique artifacts to decorate his pub. His curiosity about the signs' origin led Colin to search the Internet and finally contacting the Norridge Village Hall on October 15, 2002.

One of the more major events is First Night, a New Year's Eve celebration of the arts, with a variety of performances. There is also the car show.
