History

The more widely accepted story came from a citizens' meeting about naming the town. When Rolla was made the county seat in 1861, the residents of Dillon, having lost a round, were allowed to choose the name of the new city and named it Rolla, after a good-for-nothing hunting dog. New settlers from North Carolina voted to name the town after their hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina but chose to spell the Missouri version phonetically. They built two minor forts during their occupation, Fort Wyman and Fort Dette. Louis, Missouri Louis and Springfield, Missouri The population was 16,367 at the 2000 census.
