Page 52 & 53 RIPLEY Ripley was first established as Ripling June 11, 1892, but was changed to Ripley August 6, 1892. The community was named by John Walker John, a leading citizen of the settlement. The establishment of the local post office and the development of the settlement came as a result of the successful completion of the Macon, Dublin, and Savannah Railroad. The Ripley Community is located on U S Hwy 80 about six miles north of Jeffersonville. Near here stood one of the early churches of the County, Wood's Meetinghouse (Baptist). Ripley, from the time of its creation until its abandonment as a railroad shop, was used primarily as a shipping point for farm and forest products.
