Caldwell is one of three communities here with Caldwell in the name - North Caldwell and West Caldwell. All three are named for a Revolutionary War hero, the Reverend James Caldwell. He helped the soldiers, particularly during the Battle of Springfield when he gave them pages from hymn books to use as wadding for their bullets. Though each of the three communities are separate and are governed separately, they are often referred to as the Caldwells by the local people.
