History
Cleveland Crossroads was originally named Elias in honor of Elias Brantley Cleveland, the first postmaster. After the post office was discontinued, the name was changed to Cleveland Crossroads, also in honor of Elias Cleveland.[2] At one point, Cleveland Crossroads was home to a church, school, mechanic shop, two general stores, and a grist mill.[3] A post office operated under the name Elias from 1886 to 1905.[4]
