Reynolds County was organized in 1845. It is still an area of rugged beauty near the geologic center of the Ozark Highland. Reynolds County was formerly part of Ripley County, which was formed in 1831, and part of Wayne County which was formed in 1818. It was also previously part of Washington County and part of St. Genevieve County.
The courthouse has burned twice. The first time was in December 1863, when the Confederate Army burned it. A new courthouse was built in the fall of 1867 on the same foundation as the prior one. This courthouse was burned in late November 1871. Both times all records were destroyed. Temporary quarters again burned May 27, 1872, while a new "fireproof" courthouse was being built.
Available official records are few for early Reynolds County. This makes for difficulty in researching most family lines in this county.
