History

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