What is the origin of the name Soddy-Daisy?
The
Chickamauga Fly & Bait Casting Club (CF&BCC) is located in
Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. There are varying ideas on where the town's
name originated. Some say that Soddy comes from the Indian word Tsati,
or "sipping place". Others say that the Welsh settlers took the name
from William Sodders Trading Post. The Daisy part is easier: It comes
from Daisy Parks, daughter of the Vice President fo the Tabler-Clendys
Coal Company. In 1969, the two communities incorporated as Soddy-Daisy.
