It started with a gleam in a developer's eye...
The Town of Signal Mountain originated with the purchase of 4,400 acres of land in the Signal Point area by an enterprising developer, Charles E. James. To enable public access to his mountaintop development, The Signal Mountain Inn, Mr. James opened what would be the last major streetcar line to be constructed in the Chattanooga area; the Signal Mountain Line of the Chattanooga Traction Company. The above view is now TN Highway 127, the major route that carries thousands of residents on and off the mountain daily.
