| Bermont was a sawmill town settled in the early 1900's. In addition to lumber the town was known for it's sugarcane which was used to make juice and syrup. Bermont grew to have a general store, a post office in 1908, and a school that doubled as a church on weekends. There was also a weekly newspaper, a debating society, and a horticulture and literary club. Most important of all to it's residents was the Bermont Baseball Team that frequently played the nearby rival town of Sparkman. Submitted by: Jim Pike |
