History

Jayess was named for J.S. Butterfield, owner of the Butterfield Lumber Company.[2] The Butterfield Company laid down a railroad through Jayess in 1912 to transport timber being harvested in the area to the company's sawmill in Norfield, approximately {{convert|15|mi|km|abbr=on}} west of Jayess.[3] J.S. Butterfield's initials were used until the Postal Department changed it in when opened in 1912, to create the name "Jayess.".[2] A post office is still located at the settlement.[4]

Both a sawmill and a cotton gin were located in Jayess.[3][5]

A klavern of the Ku Klux Klan was located in Jayess during the early 1960s.[6]

The Jayess Baptist Church is located at the settlement.[7] Located west of Jayess is the Boyd-Cothern House, constructed in 1837, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[8]

Notable people

  • Clem M. Nettles, member of the Mississippi House of Representatives.[9]
  • Ineva May-Pittman, civil rights activist; recipient of Jackson, Mississippi City Council's 2015 "Woman of the Year" award.[10][11]
