Ridgefield opened in 1852 as an original station on the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad. The name was changed to Branchville upon the 1870 opening of the Ridgefield Branch. A new station building was built around 1887 and served until the current station house was built in 1905.[1] The building is currently occupied by the Whistle Stop Bakery, which opened in the 1980s.[2] The Ridgefield Branch was used for passenger service until 1925 and for freight service until 1964.[3][4]
