==Economy==
The hub of the Perry County economy since the mid-19th century, Perryville derived most of its prosperity from its being the seat of county government and a centrally located market for the population. After 1900, small- to medium-scale manufacturing became more prominent in the city, with such enterprises as International Shoe Company moving in. With the development of the Perryville Industrial Park in the 1970s, other businesses replaced these. Leading manufacturers in Perryville today include:
* Gilster-Mary Lee Corporation, producing breakfast cereals and baking mix
* Sabreliner Corporation, providing maintenance for aircraft engines
* Seguin Moreau, a French wine company, processing local timber into wine barrels
* TG Missouri Corporation, a [[Toyota]] subsidiary, manufacturing airbags, steering wheels, and interior trim pieces
* Bierk Farms Gravel Company, a processor and vendor of local gravel<ref>http://www.perryvillemo.com/list/ql/manufacturing-production-wholesale-15</ref>
The Perry County School District, Perry County Memorial Hospital, and [[Wal-Mart]] are also major employers in the education, health care, and retail sectors.
