Cedarbluff (or Cedar Bluff ) is an unincorporated community in Clay County, Mississippi , United States.[2] Mississippi Highway 50 .
History
[ edit ]
Cedarbluff is located on the former Southern Railway .[3] [4]
A post office operated under the name Cedar Bluff from 1847 to 1895 and began operating under the name Cedarbluff in 1895.[5]
In 1915 an unnamed black man was lynched in Cedarbluff for allegedly entering the room of a white woman.[6] lynched by a mob "for accidentally bumping into a white girl as he ran to catch a train." Pictures of his lynching were sold to white citizens for five cents each and were used to intimidate African-Americans in the region.[7]
