In 1922, Perry was a very small town of less than 2,000 people. During this time, a murder happened and three people were hanged for the crimes. Private retribution against the suspected families and those that gave them support ensued. The Perry Massacre occurred in Perry on 14 and 15 December 1922, during which whites hung Charles Wright and attacked the black community of Perry after the murder of a white schoolteacher.
On the day following Wright's lynching two more black men were shot and hanged; whites then burned the town's black school, Masonic lodge, church, amusement hall, and several families' homes. Firefighters battling a blaze at a natural gas plant in August 1998 were injured when an explosion ripped through the area, sending a mammoth fireball into the sky.
The flames destroyed at least six houses and several vehicles and forced the evacuation of 100 homes within two miles of the plant. Four firefighters were hospitalized. Their injuries weren't considered life-threatening. Employees of the Florida Gas Transmission Co. plant had already been evacuated because of the fire.
The blast occurred an hour later. Taylor County Fire Chief Ashley Newell rescued two firefighters, abandoning his car to help drag the injured men to safety.
