Wesobulga/Cragford 

The town of Cragford was first called Wesobulga but was changed to 
Cragford in 1907. Cragford was given the name by the A B & A Railroad. 
The town was across Crooked Creek from the depot. There was no bridge 
the crossing of the creek was done by fording. Since the village was on 
a craggy hill, the town became know as Crag-ford or'' Crag and Ford''     

Cragford is best known for the Sabina Knight-Mitchell who was murdered 
by Charles Jesse Waldrop.  After being hunted down by a posse Waldrop 
was hung about a mile from Cragford Baptist Church.
