We are rivers, woods, mountains. Skyscrapers, sidewalks. Traffic. Solitude. A vibe. Cities, towns, villages, hamlets. Here, our photographers train their craft on what makes this place our place.

Check lohud.com every Friday to see where our photographer went for our newest lohud on location feature.

Explore Chestnut Ridge, where you can find parks, developments, working farms, and historic sites such as a one-room schoolhouse built in 1890.

The Rockland County village was incorporated in 1986. Before that, Chestnut Ridge was an unincorporated area within the Town of Ramapo often referred to as "South Spring Valley."
