History records that Milton Moore migrated from Missouri in 1860 and built a house on a half section of land. Weldon Wiles Bobo migrated from Bedford County, Tennessee in 1870, and established a store. By the mid 1930s, Bedford had four stores. "Bedford's best is in the cemetery," said a leading citizen. In 1940, the population was 76 The next two
decades saw significant development. A library was opened in a small house
near the fire hall/city hall building in 1964, and was moved in 1966 to a
larger house on Forest Ridge Drive. The police department was created in
1965 with one police officer.
