"In the late 19th century, McNairy County moved its county seat from Purdy to Selmer because of the upcoming prominence as a railroad town. Mobile and Ohio first laid the tracks through selmer in the late 1850s. This turn of the century station is one of the few Mobile and Ohio depots left in the area." _ Brent Moore
