A Look at Chattanooga's Past

Chattanooga got its own post office way back in 1882. This was a place where people could send and receive letters and packages. The post office stayed open until 1905.

The name "Chattanooga" comes from the Cherokee language. It means "crow's nest," which is a type of bird's home. In 1907, just a few years after the post office closed, about 100 people lived in Chattanooga.
