History

First named “Bayou Ridge”, the town’s name was later changed to “Evergreen”, inspired by its beautiful, evergreen magnolia trees. The first store in Evergreen was owned by Alanson Pearce and was located on the Barbreck plantation that had been established by his wife’s grandfather Marsden Campbell. The town was chartered in 1869.

Evergreen was the site of an early renowned school in the area, the Evergreen Home Institute (1856), which later became Evergreen College, and then Evergreen High School in 1904.
