History

The community was originally called Mount Vernon, but a post office going by the name of Pert was established in the settlement in 1899 and remained in operation until 1905. W.J. Dennis served as the first postmaster and was a local storekeeper before then. After the post office closed, the building was used as a church. A new church by the name of Mount Vernon was built in the community in 1913. It became a thriving community with a sawmill and a population of 200 in 1915. There was a store, a gristmill, and a cotton gin in Pert in the early 1920s. The community's lumber industry declined shortly after, and it eventually became a crossroads community with only one business and 20 settlers inhabiting the community in 1939. It had two churches and only one operating business in 1985 and then the community had an estimated 35 occupants residing in 1992. The Mount Vernon United Methodist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The community then only had 20 residents in 2000. [2]
