History

Bradley had its start in 1886 when the Central of Georgia Railroad was extended to that point.[2] An early variant name was "Franks".[2] A post office called Franks was established in 1887, the name was changed to Bradley in 1889, and the post office closed in 1959.[3] The present name is after John Wiley Bradley Jr., a railroad agent.[2]
