In 1923, the Caldwell Ferry Company was incorporated by James A. Wilson and J. C. A. Gibson. In 1927, the legislature granted Doughba Carmo Caranda and heirs of the settlement of Virginia, Montserrado County, across the Saint Paul’s River between Shiloh Baptist Church Wharf, Virginia and the point immediately across the river in Caldwell. Their franchise was approved for ten years, with a maximum charge of 12 cents.
Residents C. K. Clarke and Dolly Bernard were awarded the right to run a ferry across the St. Paul River between the Teep Clarke landing to the opposite side known as the Bromley landing.
