Chelsea, in Shelby County, stands on land the Creeks once owned and hunted, which passed to the United States after Andrew Jackson's victory at Horseshoe Bend. White settlers soon arrived, and by the mid-1800s several homesteads stood among the hills and hollows; early families included the Blackerbys, Chessers, Cranes, Gilberts, Kendricks, Nivens, Quinns, Spearmans and Weldons. No Civil War battles were fought nearby, but many local men served in the Confederate army.
When the railroad came through in 1908, people moved closer to the tracks, and the town, first called Melrose, was born. Early businesses included a drugstore, sawmill, gristmill, planing mill, cotton gin, blacksmith and barber shops, general stores and a post office, with George Washington Weldon and brothers C. W. and Frank P. Chesser among the leading merchants. Chelsea was incorporated on May 16, 1995, but dissolved soon after because of procedural errors, and after a second vote it was incorporated again on March 1, 1996, with 906 people. Under its first mayor, S. Earl Niven, it grew to about 9,000 residents by 2008.
