A Look Back in Time: Barada's History
Barada was first settled in the 1850s, which was a long time ago! However, it did not officially become a village until 1927. The village was named after a famous person from the mid-1800s named Antonine Barada. He was known as a folk hero and ran a special place called a "trading post." This trading post was located within an area that was once a Native American reservation. A trading post was like a store where people could trade goods and supplies.
