Ridgefield[edit]
More recently the town of Ridgefield, has become the center of the controvercy of flying the Confederate flags and Confederate monuments, even though the nearby Jefferson Davis Park is located outside the city limits. Mayor Ron Onslow said, "We get calls about it every time the Confederacy comes up". Although Jefferson Davis Park has a Ridgefield address, "It's not in our city, so we have no say over it. We're not against history, but there is no history of this in Ridgefield", Onslow said in requesting the memorial at the park, be removed from the Clark County Historical Register.[1] On October 2, 2017, the commissioners of the city of Ridgefield officially and unanimously asked the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission to remove the Jefferson Davis Highway marker, from Vancouver, Washington, from its local heritage list, which the Commission did.[2][3]
