1900 - The greatest weather disaster in U.S. records occurred when a hurricane struck Galveston TX. A tide fifteen feet high washed over the island demolishing or carrying away buildings, and drowning more than 6000 persons. The hurricane destroyed more than 3600 houses, and total damage was more than thirty million dollars. Winds to 120 mph, and a twenty foot storm surge accompanied the hurricane. Following the storm, the surf was three hundred feet inland from the former water line. The hurricane claimed another 1200 lives outside of the Galveston area.

The town was named after John Henry Parrott Jr.(1847-1930). Parrott started the Pulaski Anthracite coal mine in 1902 and was the mine's general manager and probable shareholder.
Parrott is bordered by the New River which is the oldest river system on the North American continent and second only to the Nile River in Africa as the oldest river in the world. It flows northward rather than southward like most of the other major rivers along the eastern seaboard.
