The town of Parsons was created by the railroad in the late 1880’s but did not receive its charter until 1913. L. H. Burke, a surveyor for the Tennessee Midland Railway, was chosen to develop the town. The land south of Main Street in Parsons was laid off in uniform blocks, with streets 100 feet wide. Streets running East and West from Main Street are numbered First through Tenth Streets. Those running North and South are named for the States. The railroad depot was located in the center of town where the BP station is today. Community South Bank stands on the commercial lot owned by the railroad, which was used as a tie yard where farmers brought their crossties to be shipped out by rail. The passenger train of the Perryville Branch was known as the “Hot Shot” or the “Cannonball”, and consisted of a mail-baggage car and two coaches that were usually filled with passengers. Even though there is no sound of a train whistle anywhere around the town of Parsons, Tennessee, we as citizens must always remember the beginnings of our little town. Had it not been for the Tennessee Midland Railway Co. and Henry Myracle, Parsons would not be on the map today.
