Discover Berry
Berry, in Fayette County, is named for Thompson Berry, who settled in the area in the 1840s, raised cattle and came to own a gin, a gristmill and several thousand acres. When the Georgia Pacific Railroad was built between Birmingham and Columbus, Mississippi, in 1882 and 1883, a depot was placed about midway between the two cities through arrangements with his daughters, Mrs. Ben Jefferies and Mrs. Eliza Harvey, and named Berry. Ab Seay ran the first store and post office out of a boxcar even before the track was finished.
More about Berry
The town was incorporated in November 1883 as Berry Station, its limits set at one mile in every direction from a public well near the depot. Its first municipal election was not held until 1899, when Birks Bagwell became mayor, and the town shortened its name to Berry in the 1920s. From 1912 to 1922 it was home to Alabama Christian College, a coeducational school supported by members of the Church of Christ that required daily Bible classes and offered Latin, Greek, French and philosophy; it closed because of economic troubles tied to World War I. Rail service ended in 1999, and the old right-of-way became Berry Heritage Park Drive. On April 27, 2011, Berry was struck twice by tornadoes.
