"Africans Americans in Callaway County
 Callaway County had a large population of African Americans in the 1800s. In the 1830 census, the county ranked fifth in the state for the percentage of slaves at just over 30 percent of the population of the county's residents. By 1850, however, slaves made up 39.5 percent of the population of Callaway County. After they were freed, many of the former slaves stayed in the area and founded small communities such as the Ridge and Cave's Community.
