History

Bradford was originally named in honor of the English city Bradford by Jim Justice, who was a foreman of the local mines.[2] The post office was then named Dixiana after it was found there was already a post office in Alabama operating under the name "Bradford."[3]

Multiple different companies mined coal at mines in Bradford, including The Alabama By-Products Corporation,[4] the Birmingham Furnace and Manufacturing Company,[5] and Imperial Coal and Coke Company.[6]

A post office operated under the name Dixiana from 1880 to 1984.[7]
