History

[edit]

The area around Ringgold was settled in 1892, when a land owner began selling parcels in the area where the Rock Island Line railroad built a line. The town was first named Harrisonia after the land owner, Joe Harris, but he renamed it Ringgold after his wife's family. A post office was established the same year.

As an intersection of rail lines, Ringgold became a market town for the immediate area, and it reached its highest population of around 400 in the mid-1920s.

On January 1, 2006, about half of the town was destroyed by a wildfire that burned 32 homes. The event prompted much Dallas/Fort Worth area media coverage.[4]
