Ranlo
Established 1963 | Mayor Lynn Black
R anlo is a community Built with Pride as the town motto goes.
One of the best parts about Ranlo is the preserved mill
housing. Row houses were erected in the 1920s and 30s
for workers in the textile mills.
The name Ranlo is a portmanteau blending the surnames of
two prominent industrialists, John C. Rankin (Ran) and William T.
Love (Lo).
Ranlo and nearby Smyre were incorporated into one town in 1963.
