Why this spot
1857-1928 lumber mill town
A lumber town on the Perdido River that at its peak ran four mills and logging camps employing over 1,000 men, with a company commissary, hotel, schools and two railroads. The owners liquidated after 1925 and sold the town in 1928, when it had 300 to 400 people, and residents gradually left.View source →
