Corley was named for early settler John C. Corley. A post office was established at Corley in 1882 and remained in operation until the 1950s, with J. Carr Turner as postmaster. It had 75 residents served by a sawmill, a gristmill, a gin, a store, and a hotel in 1884. The population rose to 100 in 1890, then declined by half over the next six years. It further declined, to 35 from 1982 through 2000, and had no businesses.[2]
