Stringer's Ridge was named for pioneer Capt. William Stringer. From there, Federal artillery in Brig. Gen. James S. Negley's task force bombarded Chattanooga on June 7 and 8, 1862, then retired. On Aug. 21, 1863, Capt. Eli Lilley's 18th Indiana Battery, of Wilder's Brigade, again fired on Chattanooga from this ridge and opened the Chickamauga Campaign.
