History

Cedarbluff is located on the former Southern Railway.[2] Cedarbluff was formerly home to a school and two churches.[3]

A post office operated under the name Cedar Bluff from 1847 to 1895 and began operating under the name Cedarbluff in 1895.[4]

In 1915 an unnamed black man was lynched in Cedarbluff for allegedly entering the room of a white woman.[5] In 1916, an African-American man, Jeff Brown was lynched by a mob "for accidentally bumping into a white girl as he ran to catch a train." Pictures of his lynching were sold to white citizens for five cents each and were used to intimidate African-Americans in the region.[6] In 1920, a destructive tornado struck Cedarbluff directly causing major damage.
