On January 22, 1829, Randolph County was organized out of Chariton County, and on December 4, 1830 the county seat was located at Huntsville. The town was officially laid out and named Huntsville for Daniel Hunt, the first man to settle the town site. Its first settlers came from Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
