==History== Reynolds County was officially organized on February 25, 1845. It is still an area of rugged beauty near the geologic center of the Ozark Highland. Reynolds County was formerly part of [[Ripley County, Missouri|Ripley County]] which was formed in 1831 and part of [[Wayne County, Missouri|Wayne County]] which was formed in 1818. It was also previously part of [[Washington County, Missouri|Washington County]] and part of [[Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri|Ste. Genevieve County]]. The Reynolds County Courthouse has burned twice. The first time was in December 1863 when the Confederate army burned it. A new courthouse was built in the fall of 1867 on the same foundation as the previous one. This courthouse was burned in late November 1871. Both times all records were destroyed. Temporary quarters again burned May 27, 1872, while a new "fireproof" courthouse was being built.
