WELCOME!
Ripley county was organized January 5,
1833, from Wayne County and is named for Eleazer W. Ripley,
a soldier of the War of 1812. The County Seat is located at Doniphan, Missouri, and
is divided up into
the following
political townships:
Pine, Kelley, Jordan, Johnson, Sherley, Doniphan, Flatwoods,
Washington,
West Doniphan, Varner, Gatewood, Union, Poynor, Harris and
Thomas.
The Current River runs through the middle of the county. Like
it's neighboring counties to the north, it is a popular resort area for
fishing, float trips, and canoeing. Ripley County is rich in heritage
and I am proud that my ancestors made Ripley County their home.
