Disclaimer: This all just my wild ass guess and I have done no research into the matter.
County fair's fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agricluture. They've been around longer than amusment parks have. As amusment rides started becoming a regular part of those events, their inspection and what-not became the responsibility of the Department of Agriculture. Fast forward to when amusment parks start popping up. Since the Department of Agriculture already had ride inspectors, the inspection of the fixed amusment rides became their responsibility as well.
Okay, I'm relaxed. I was just feeling hyper-sensitive to south bashing at that moment, I guess.
