BRADLEY COUNTY lies south of the Hiwassee River, and is bounded on the north by Meigs and McMinn counties,
on the east by Polk County, on the south by the State of George, and on the west by James County. Its greatest length
is about twenty five miles, and the greatest width twenty-two miles. It embraces an area of 340 square miles. Its surface
consists of a series of parallel ridges and valleys extending in a southwesterly course from the
Hiwassee
River
to
the George line. The rides are neither high nor abrupt, and the soil upon them, which not as fertile as that of the valleys,
is well adapted to agricultural purposes. the valleys are each drained by a creek and its tributaries
.
The survey of the lands in the Ocoee District was begun under the act of the Legislature in the
spring of 1837 by John B. Tipton, surveyor-general. His deputies were John Kennedy, J. C. Tipton,
Thomas H. Calloway, J. F. Cleveland and John Hannah. The base line for the survey began at a large
mass of limestone on the
Hiwassee
River
opposite
Charleston
, and ran 20° west of south, to the
Georgia
line, passing through
Cleveland
.
In November, 1838, an entry-taker's office was opened at
Cleveland
with Luke Lea as entry-taker, and
P. J. R. Edwards as land register.
The lands were placed upon sale at prices ranging with the time in
which it was entered. For the first four months the price was .50 per acre: the next four months ,
after which it was reduced to and , and finally the last was sold in 1841 at one cent an acre.
The settlers from the older counties came in rapidly, and
Bradley
County
soon became quite thickly
populated. In 1837, the Hiwassee Railroad was begun, but was not completed to
Cleveland
until the
summer of 1851. In the fall of that year it reached
Charleston
, and in 1856 was opened to
Knoxville
,
the name meantime having been changed to the
East Tennessee
& Georgia Railroad.
