Hurricane Creek and bauxite

Settlers established themselves along Hurricane Creek in the early 19th century, and a Civil War skirmish took place in the area. Rail service in the 1870s brought development, though the town struggled through the early 20th century and the Great Depression. During World War II, demand for the area's bauxite, used to make aluminum, brought new growth. Today's Bryant is mostly modern subdivisions, so most moves here are straightforward house moves where good packing makes the biggest difference; see packing services.
