Located seven miles southwest of Meridian, Mississippi, Savoy was first established sometime in 1883[3] 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.[4] A post office was established here in 1900 before being abolished in 1913.[5]
The only gay bar in Lauderdale County, Mississippi, known as Crossroads, was located here before being torn down. It was the subject of the film Small Town Gay Bar.
