OUR HISTORY

Ratliff's Ferry Returns

Ratliff's Ferry was the name given to the rope ferry crossing the Pearl River between Rankin & Madison Counties in Mississippi by my great-great grandfather, John Ratliff (1799-1849). This ferry transported not only people but livestock and goods. This was a main crossing between the two counties and operated for many years. Today, there is a place called "Ratliff's Ferry" at that location but it contains a service station/convenience store.
