Perry came into existence in 1890, when the Smith-Stanley Lumber Company built a sawmill in the area.[2] A post office was established in the same year.[2] The mill was sold to Charley and Jim Mimnaugh and again in 1900 to C.W. Nibley and George Stoddard, who renamed the mill he Grande Ronde Lumber Company.[2] In 1927, the Grande Ronde Lumber Company merged with the Stoddard Lumber Company of Baker City and moved across the valley to Pondosa, taking most of the town with it.[2] The post office was discontinued in 1931.[2]
