February 20, 1914

The town of Perry (Perry County) was incorporated. Few settlers came to the northwestern side of Perry Mountain before the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad was built in 1898. The depot built at this location was known first as North Perryville, but by the time the post office was established in 1899, the name had been shortened to Perry.
