About four miles from Chattanooga,
1T the western base Of the historic
Missionary ridge, is the little village
of S~lanlCvtONn. There is nothing
peculiar about the outward appear
ancc of the town except that the
houses are all new, indicating that i;
is of recent growth. This is so.
After the war the negro freedmen
settled in Chattanooga in great mum
bers. Many of these negroes in time
became possessed OF small houses and
lived in tho most desirable part Of the
city.
Recently capitalists began to realize
that Chattanooga was in the very heart
of the richest mineral district of the
south. Syndicatcs of these men
came in and purchased great tracts
of these mineral lands. Manufacture
crs began TO be located here. Popu-
lation flowed in. and the city has
grown from 1900 in the year 1880 to
$1,000 ut the present time.
In FEBRUARY, 1887, Chattanooga had
a boom. The coIorcd people took
advantage Of this boom and sold out.
With the increased population and
the consequent city improvements
taxes advanced greatly. In order to
avoid these heavy taxes n few of the
wiser colorcd people purchased lots at
the foot of Missionary ridge, about
four miles out of the city. Others
soon followed the example, and in n
little whilc there was n stampede Of
negroes III that direction. 4 build
ing boom followed, and in less than six
months more than one hundred and
fifty houses had been erected. many of
them handsome and wclI-appOjutcd
residences, and the infant hamlet of
Stanlcytown (chriStrhcd such in honor
of the man from whom the land had
been purchaSed) numbered within its
borders 800 souls. Not simply content
with having houses OF their own, they
began 10 carry forward all kinds of
improvements.
