Radford originated as a railroad town in 1856 and has been known as Lovely Mount, English Ferry, Ingles's Ferry, Central Depot, and Central City. In 1887 Radford was incorporated as a town and was incorporated as a city in 1892. The city was named Radford to honor John Blair RADFORD, a prominent citizen of the city. The Radford State Teachers College was established there in 1913. Prior to being chartered as an independent city in 1892 the Radford area records were kept at the courthouse for Montgomery County located in Christiansburg, Virginia. |
