Best Answer

The first European settler was Hardy Ivy, who built a cabin there in 1833. He laid out the streets of the original town site. Peachtree was the main street. The four original cross streets were named for Hardy Ivy's four son-in-laws. One of those, Ellis street, named for James M. Ellis, husband to Mary E. Ivy, one of Hardy Ivy's daughters.

The graves of this early family are located in the Oakland Cemetery, except for Hardy himself. His grave has been lost.
