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.
Wesobulga was right in the middle of the Gold Rush District-many men
lost their lives coming down with
''Gold Fever'' in the 1840's and 1850's. It is said there a few
unmarked graves in Cragford Cemetery are men killed in shoot-outs over
gold.
