The term raggies originated during the time when the Northwest Corner of Connecticut was known for the iron industry, particularly the town of Salisbury and Mount Riga. It was a term used for the iron workers and the charcoal makers. Contrary to some definitions it has nothing to do with Torrington or Winsted. This term is also used for people that have a long ancestory in the town of Salisbury.

A derogatory word used in northern Litchfield County, Ct. It derives from Mt. Riga, a mountain that was populated with poor hillbillies, mostly of Dutch descent. The term started in the Salisbury/ Canaan area and moved to Winsted and Torrington. It now refers to those of lower incomes.
Those raggies are nothing but trouble.

A derogatory term used to classify people who are poor or dress poorly. Also can be used to call someone who acts like a low life. The term probably originated from poor people wearing rags.
The term seems to be used solely by New Englanders.
