Not much is known about the town of Perryville except that it was established in 1877; that it was named for a Mr. Perry who operated a blacksmith shop and worked as a machinist for the placer mines in Moreno Valley; that it did have a hotel, a school, a store and a number of log cabins. The town is gone but the site of it is on U.S. 64, just below Eagle Nest dam.Courtesy Henry Chenoweth.
