What is the history of Byram?
|
|
|
Byram originally incorporated in 1870. The town was named for
A.M. Byram, an
early settler who donated land for the location of the depot. The town
surrendered its incorporation during the Great Depression when it could no
longer fund municipal services.
In 2006, a judge ruled that Byram could incorporate with about 20 square miles
(52 km). On June 25, 2009, Byram officially became Mississippi's 297th
municipality. Its Mayor and Board of Aldermen were sworn in Monday June 22nd,
2009 at the State Capitol.
Home of the Swinging Bridge - Built in 1905, the Byram Swinging Bridge was the
only access across the Pearl River at Byram. It is one of the few remaining
examples of a popular type of short-span vehicular suspension bridge often
constructed in Mississippi in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since
approximately 1987 the Byram Swinging Bridge has only been open to foot traffic
and is now a historical landmark.
