About Picayune, Mississippi
Picayune is a city of 11,885 people in Pearl River County, and it is the largest community in the county. Its name comes from the picayune, a small Spanish coin worth 6.25 cents. Eliza Jane Poitevent Nicholson owned and published The Daily Picayune, a newspaper named for that coin, and she gave the town its name in late 1883 or early 1884.
The town grew with the timber trade of South Mississippi's Piney Woods. By 1900 Picayune was the county's biggest community and a railroad hub for the region's lumber business, and it was incorporated in 1904. By 1930 almost 5,000 people lived here. Trains still stop in town, where Amtrak's Crescent makes daily runs in each direction between New Orleans and New York.
- The Crosby timber companyIn 1916 L. O. Crosby Sr. and several partners founded the Goodyear Yellow Pine Company, which made the small Rosa timber mill a major employer. It later became Crosby Forest Products, and Pearl River wood ended up in buildings across the country. The family went on into other businesses and local leadership. Their name is on the Margaret Reed Crosby Memorial Library and the Crosby Arboretum, whose Pinecote Pavilion, by architect E. Fay Jones, opened in the 1980s.
- A post office mural from 1940In 1940 Donald H. Robertson painted a mural called Lumber Region of Mississippi for the Picayune post office. It was one of the federal murals that the Treasury Department commissioned from 1934 to 1943. Later renovations covered the mural with new paint.
- A storekeeper who wroteIn the 1910s S. G. Thigpen Jr. began keeping a store in Picayune. He also wrote stories of country life in Mississippi, later collected in books including Work and Play in Grandpa's Day.
- Noel Polk, born in 1943Noel Polk was born in Picayune in 1943 and became a leading scholar of Eudora Welty and William Faulkner, editing their writing and explaining it to readers. He taught at Mississippi State University and the University of Southern Mississippi. His memoir, Outside the Southern Myth, looks back on his boyhood in Pearl River County.
- A refuge after KatrinaWhen Hurricane Katrina struck, its eye wall passed right over Picayune. The wind tore at roofs, windows and fences, brought down hundreds of trees and left some homes without power for as long as a few weeks. The city still fared better than its neighbors, so many people from the New Orleans area and the Mississippi Gulf Coast moved here for a time, looking for safer homes within an easy drive of work.
