History


Sayers was established after the Civil War. A post office was established in Sayers in 1885. 50 people were living in Sayers in 1896 with two general stores and a church. The Adkins post office was moved to Sayers, and the postal area was named Adkins. It lost half of its population in 1940 and had three businesses, which all closed after World War II.[2] The community now has several churches, restaurants, a small grocery store, a gas station, and a cemetery.[3]
