Perry, the seat of Taylor County, is named for Madison Perry, Florida's fourth governor and a Confederate colonel in the Civil War. Like many North Florida towns, it grew around forestry: sawmills supplied logs, lumber and crossties for the state's first railroads, and in the early 1900s the turpentine industry boomed as resin tapped from slash and longleaf pines was made into pitch, paint and other products. The city calls itself Florida's Forest Capital, and the Forest Capital Museum State Park, with an authentic 19th-century Cracker homestead, honors that history.
In December 1922, when Perry had fewer than 2,000 people, a white schoolteacher was murdered. On December 14 and 15 whites lynched Charles Wright, then shot and hanged two more Black men and burned the town's Black school, Masonic lodge, church, amusement hall and several homes, in what is known as the Perry Massacre. In August 1998 an explosion at a burning natural gas plant sent a huge fireball into the sky, destroying at least six houses and forcing the evacuation of 100 homes; four firefighters were hospitalized.
