Founded in 1880
History shows Scott was founded in 1880, but not incorporated until 1902 or 1904. Dr. L. A. Prejean was the first Mayor when Scott was granted a charter in 1907. Sweet potatoes and cotton were the main farming done in the “olden days.” Today, Scott’s businesses have flourished much more! And Scott Business Association is here to assist!
J.B. Scott
Scott got its name honoring the superintendent of the
railroad, J. B. Scott, back in the 1880’s after Scott solidified a promise to
build a railroad station in the little town. It is noted the railroads were
worked on by convicts at the time, and different rates applied for traveling
East or West.
