History

Agriculture was the community's dominant revenue source, with pears and strawberries as the leading crops grown for sale. Plans were created for a town to be named Ridgeland and a campaign launched to entice people from the northern United States to move south. Yellowley founded the community of Yellowley's Crossing (later named Jessamine, after his wife). It is part of the Jackson, Mississippi Jackson metropolitan area Statistical Area.

In 1805, the Choctaw Indian Agency, headed by Silas Dinsmor, was located in what is now known as Ridgeland. It was then called Turner Brashear's Stand until about 1850, when it was renamed King's Inn for the hotel that replaced the Agency.
