A Postmaster for Perry's Landing was established on December 7, 1871.[4] Postal Service to Perry's Landing was discontinued April 20, 1893, but a new postmaster was named and service began again on March 6, 1894 under the name "Perry Landing."[4] The postal office continued to operate until 1929.[5]
By 1884, Perry's Landing had a church, a school, and a general store.[5] There were then thirty residents.[5] Perry's Landing also had warehouses from which local industry could ship commodities such as sugar, cotton, and molasses.[5] By the start of World War I in 1914, Perry's Landing had more than tripled in population, with over 100 residents. Industry grew there too, including a syrup manufacturer and three general stores.[5]
