History
Bardley had its start in 1895 as a logging town.[3] The community was named after Bordley, Kentucky, the native home of a first settler (a postal error accounts for the error in spelling, which was never corrected).[4] A post office called Bardley was established in 1895, and remained in operation until 1966.[5]
