Discover Mc Henry
McHenry began as a Michigan colony in the Mississippi pinewoods. In 1889 George Austin McHenry led 54 families from Michigan to a site on the planned route of the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, about 25 miles north of Gulfport. The "Michigan settlement," later named McHenry, sat in the longleaf yellow pine belt, where lumber mills and family farms were the main livelihoods.
More about Mc Henry
When the railroad was built through town in the 1890s, McHenry boomed. Its population rose from about 350 to about 1,200 by 1906 according to Wikipedia, or to 1,500 by 1908 according to a state marker. The State Bank was founded in 1902 with $15,000 in capital, and by 1910 the town had stores, churches, a school, a bank, a newspaper, a brickyard and a large planing mill. Decline came with the end of the timber and a string of fires. A fire in 1903 destroyed 17 businesses. In 1916 McHenry lost the contest to become seat of the new Stone County to Wiggins. By the 1920s the forests were gone, a 1930 fire nearly destroyed the town, and on June 23, 1939, another fire burned the business district, leaving McHenry a virtual ghost town. George McHenry's home is on the National Register of Historic Places. Sources The Historical Marker Database: McHenry (Mississippi Department of Archives and History) Wikipedia: McHenry, Mississippi
