Knight Ridge is a small town in Appalachia, near the border between West Virginia and Virginia.
Background[]
Knight Ridge is the hometown of Responders constable Lane Platte. The town survived the Great War virtually unscathed,[1] largely due to the town's isolation. The town was "remarkably" peaceful for years after the Great War and self-sufficient, hunting their own food and knitting their own clothes.[2]
It wasn't until around 2103 that the town's residents had their lives upended. As rumors of treasure in Appalachia spread, more and more people began passing through into Appalachia hoping to strike it rich. With the people came raiders who attacked Knight Ridge,[1] causing many of the townspeople to join caravans and flee, including Lane's sister Adelaide and their father. Some, like Lane, tried to stay and fight back, but Lane himself eventually fled as well.[3]
Appearances[]
Knight Ridge is only mentioned in Fallout 76, introduced in the Expeditions: Atlantic City update part one, Boardwalk Paradise.

Lane Platte: "In a manner of speaking. A small, small town called Knight Ridge, on the southern border with old Virginia proper. We survived the Bombs, almost unscathed if you can believe it. Lived in peace for most of my life. It was only with the rush of folks flooding in, searching for that treasure of theirs, that our lives were upended. Knight Ridge was raided, I fled, and was swept along to the Responder's Refuge, where I took up my present vocation."

Lane Platte: "Remarkably peaceful, considering the broader circumstances. Apocalypse, and all. We hunted our own food, knitted our own clothes... We were isolated, but life went on much as it had. When the raiders came and drove us into the real 'Wasteland,' I came to realize how much I'd take my life for granted. Seemed only natural to join up with the Responders and work toward building a world like we used to have."
