==History==
Ralls County was one of several along the [[Mississippi River]] settled in the early years primarily by European-American migrants from the [[Upper South]], especially [[Kentucky]] and [[Tennessee]]. They brought [[slaves]] and slaveholding traditions with them, and quickly started cultivating crops similar to those in [[Middle Tennessee]] and Kentucky: hemp and tobacco. They also brought characteristic [[antebellum architecture]] and culture. Ralls is considered one of the counties in the outer ring of what is called the [[Little Dixie (Missouri)|Little Dixie]] region. Most of the Little Dixie counties are located further west along the Missouri River, from Callaway County west.<ref>[http://www.missouridivision-scv.org/littledixie.htm The Story of Little Dixie, Missouri, Missouri Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120717050109/http://www.missouridivision-scv.org/littledixie.htm |date=July 17, 2012 }}, accessed June 3, 2008</ref>
