In May 1898 the name of Three Mile Creek was changed to Perry in honor of O.A. Perry, who had served as a Latter-day Saints Bishop for almost twenty years. Population of the town at the turn of the century was 261 (50 families).

In the spring of 1905, residents of Perry built their own electric company, with Vinson F. Davis as president. They erected their own poles and strung the wires. The company was purchased by the town in 1912 and it was sold to Utah Power and Light Company in 1950.
