Perote, in Bullock County, was settled in the mid-1830s and first called Fulford's Cross Roads, then Missouri Cross Roads when a post office opened in 1846. Its present name, adopted in 1850, was suggested by veterans home from the Mexican War, who remembered a citadel at Perote in Mexico. The town was incorporated in 1858. Early settlers came mostly from the Carolinas and Georgia, including the Boykin, Reeves, Sellers, Crossley, Blue, Locke and McCall families, and Methodist and Baptist churches were among the first buildings, centers of a social life that included revival "protracted meetings."
Perote grew rapidly in the 1850s, and by 1860 it had several doctors, stores, a carriage factory, a Masonic lodge and a school of about 150 students. Many of the young men served in the Perote Guards, organized in 1859, who went to war in the 1st Alabama Infantry with uniforms and a flag made by the women of the town. After the war, as cotton faded in importance, Perote was bypassed by the railroad and suffered several disastrous fires, and its business and population steadily declined.
