History
The Hopewell Community was first settled by European Americans in the early 1820s when the area was still part of the Cherokee Nation, and has the distinction of being home to the first church and post office in Bradley County. The community reportedly received its name when the first church was built and someone said "I hope they do well." Candies Creek (originally Candy's Creek), which flows through the community, was originally called "Little Kiuka Creek" by the Cherokees, and was named for Henry Candy, a Cherokee who relocated his home to a location along the creek around 1817. The Candy's Creek Mission was organized along the creek in the community in 1824 by Samuel Worcester and William Holland as a Christian mission to the Cherokees. Both were based at the Brainerd Mission in Chattanooga. A school was begun at the mission on February 2, 1825, and other nearby schools were established shortly thereafter.
A Tennessee Historical Commission historical marker, commemorating the mission station was installed along SR 60 in 1959 near the location of the mission, and unknowingly disappeared, reportedly in the late 1980s when Paul Huff Parkway was constructed.
