County History

Perry County was formed in 1820 from the western part of Greene County and was named in honor of Commodore Oliver H. Perry. In 1908, Forrest County was formed from its western townships. A large number of hardy pioneers settled along Perry's watercourses during the early 1800s. Today, Perry County is part of the Hattiesburg, Mississippi Metropolitan Statistical Area, and as of 2000, its population was 12,138. Its county seat is New Augusta. Other towns include Beaumont and Richton. Adjacent counties are Wayne County (northeast), Greene County (east), George County (southeast), Stone County (south), Forrest County (west) and Jones County (northwest).
