Pearl City owes its charming name to the oysters of the Pearl River. This long established large community contains many subdivisions and is comprised mostly of single-family homes. It was once a rich farming community that attracted many ethnic groups who work in the industry farming rice, sugarcane, watercress, pineapple, and other promising farm products.
