History
Braggadocio was founded circa 1847.[3] A post office called Braggadocio has been in operation since 1881.[4] Possibly the community was named because a large share of the early settlers were braggarts,[5] or after the knight and horse thief Sir Braggadoccio, in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene.[3] Braggadocio has been noted for its unusual place name.[6]
In 1927, an African-American man named Will Sherod was lynched in Braggadocio.[7][8]
On April 2, 2006, an F3 tornado hit the town, causing two deaths, and on December 10, 2021, an EF4 tornado struck the town, causing one death.
