Zack’s Ridge: “Zack” was a nickname for Isaac, in this case, Dr. Isaac Hall of Fairfield, who in 1697 received from the Connecticut government a grant of 150 acres in what was to become Ridgefield but at the time was simply American Indian territory north of Norwalk, according to Ridgebury historian Ed Liljegren. [The land was southwest of what’s now Old Stagecoach Road.] Dr. Hall had requested 250 acres for his service as a surgeon during an unnamed war or campaign.
