History
Free Home was named by Captain Delevan Lively who owned land in the area around the Crossroads Militia District in Cherokee County. Due to hard times in the area, many people could not afford to buy land. If someone made an agreement that the land would revert to him if they moved away, Captain Lively offered free land to anyone who wanted to build a house. Thus, the community became known as Free Home.[1]
