History
A rail line was created between mid-1916 and mid-1920 from Shattuck, Oklahoma to Spearman, Texas, as built by the North Texas and Santa Fe Railway and operated by the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway. When neither of the communities of Ochiltree or Gray got the railroad, the citizens decided to move both towns to the railroad and merge into a new community named Perryton. It was named after George M. Perry, an early county judge.
