On March 1st, 1980, Ron was born as the sixth child to Arthur and Molly (née Prewett) Weasley. The Weasley's were a Pure-Blood magical family (who appeared to have some random muggle cousin as an accountant) and weren't very well off. Arthur worked at the Ministry of Magic in the department for Misuse of Muggle Artifacts. This job is considered mediocre at best by the outside world, and is given the least of the Ministry's worries as proven by it's little space and two-man team.
The Wizarding World was current at war when Ronald was born. A man who went by "Lord Voldemort" had taken to power and was trying to get as many followers as possible, not to mention kill any non-magical folk or people he deemed "unworthy" of carrying magical blood. It was dangerous times than with no one being able to trust their neighbors, and even more dangerous if you were a family such as the Weasley's. For, while pure-blood, they were considered "blood traitors" for their pro-muggle (non-magical) leanings. However, Voldemort fell a year later on Halloween when he killed off a toddler's parents and attempted to kill him. Something that night prevented Voldemort from killing him, and because of that the boy became famous throughout the Wizarding World for finishing Voldemort--- a name Ron grew up to know well: Harry Potter.
A little over a year after Ron's birth and mere weeks before Voldemort's downfall, the Weasley family gained a seventh child: a girl by the name of Ginerva (Ginny). Six children was already hard enough to feed and cloth, and with Ginny the only female times in the Weasley household got tighter than it even was before. Ron grew up with everything he owned being second-hand owned from either his brothers or shops in Diagon Alley, and it's quite more likely that he was the third or even fourth to receive them.
Growing up in the Wizarding World introduced Ron to most of his Hogwarts years concepts at a young age. He and his brothers constantly played Quidditch, the wizarding sport, in an Orchard by the house and he became... decent enough. He even took a liking to his favorite team, the Chudley Cannons, who are known by the Wizarding World as a bit of a joke with their outstanding losses. Ron also became an avid and masterful chess player when he was little, which carried out into his later years.
His most significant moments before going to school contain his two older twin brothers: Fred and George. At age three, Fred turned Ron's teddy bear into a large spider when he accidentally broke his broomstick. This incident comes to make Ron absolutely mortified of spiders. When Ron was five, Fred and George tried getting Ron to create an Unbreakable Vow with them (it's never revealed what about). Ron would have gone through with the Unbreakable Vow if Arthur had not shown up and went-- as Ron often uses/puts it-- mental. This is significant because if this vow was broken, the person would die.
In the summer after his eleventh birthday Ron received his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. By this time, his two oldest brothers, Bill and Charlie, had graduated Hogwards and started their own careers in working at Gringotts--the Wizarding bank-- and with dragons (respectively). His third older brother, Percy, was starting his fifth year as a Prefect while the twins started their third. While Ron was excited in his own right, he also knew he had a lot to live up to thanks to his older brothers-- and felt he never would. Already there had been three school Prefects in his family, but Bill had also been Head Boy and Charlie Quidditch Captain.
