Crandall Community

It is where the Buccatunna and Talabogue Creeks came together in the southern part of Clarke County, with its swamp and grove of trees, that the community of Crandall is located.

A Choctaw Indian tribe once resided in this area for the good hunting and farming due to the creeks.  A number of Indian Mounds has been found over the years, which has been excavated with the remains and artifacts removed to museums.

The namesake of the community comes from Walter Carmichael who set a saw mill in the late 1800’s.

By the early 1920’s Crandall had grown to include three stores, a garage, a Ford Motor Company dealership, a school, and post office, along with the saw mill and business from the Long Bell Lumber Company and the railroad, turning into a bustling city.

J. M. Fleming published “The Week’s News”, a newspaper, from 1923 – 1925, and even a theatre operated by Harry Aubrey and E. M. Lambert graced the town of yesterday.

Thriving mostly in the 1920’s and then slowing dissolving into the community it is today.
