History

Located seven miles southwest of Meridian, Mississippi, Savoy was first established sometime in 1883[2] under the name of Corrine as a right of way on the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad. In 1896, the name was shortened to Corry, and finally to Savoy in 1903. The railroad had a passing siding and house track here at one point.[3] A post office was established here in 1900 before being abolished in 1913.[4]
