In 1805, the Choctaw Indian Agency was located in the area now known as Ridgeland. The Agency was called Turner Brashear's Stand. The agent in charge was Silas Dinsmor. Around 1850, Brashear's Stand was renamed King's Inn. The Inn was used as a headquarters by General Stephen Lee during the US Civil War. King's Inn was lost to fire in 1896.
In 1853, James B. Yellowley founded the community of Yellowley's Crossing (later named Jessamine, after his wife). Two Chicago developers, Edward Treakle and Gordon Nichols, purchased the land from Yellowley and founded Highland Colony. They laid out a city which they named Ridgeland and enticed settlers from the Northern US to move south. Farming thrived with pears and strawberries among the chief crops.

Madison, Mississippi, named for James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, grew up along a bustling railroad track in pre-Civil War Mississippi. It was 1856 when the Illinois Central Railroad opened its Madison Station, the forerunner of today’s City of Madison. Although near-by Madisonville, a settlement established along the stagecoach route of the Natchez Trace, boasted a race tack, two banks, a wagon factory and at least one hotel, its residents could not resist the lure of the future. The newly established railroad community began to thrive, and Madisonville soon became extinct.
Like many railroad towns in the South, Madison Station fell victim to the Civil War. Just 10 miles from the state capital, Jackson, it was largely destroyed after the July 18-22, 1861 siege of Jackson.
