The town was important enough that Gregory got rail service in the late 19th Century, courtesy of the Augusta and Southeastern Railway, which was purchased by the White and Black River Valley Railway (W&BRV) on January 10, 1890. The line was a 6-mile branch off the W&BRV from Wiville, Arkansas which terminated at Gregory.[4][5][6][7][8] However, the line was abandoned in 1934.[9][10]
