The <a href="/wiki/Gulf_and_Ship_Island_Railroad" title="Gulf and Ship Island Railroad">Gulf and Ship Island Railroad</a> had completed construction, and bypassed Williamsburg, the county seat at that time. The sawmills moved to the new town of Williamsburg Depot in order to be closer to the railroad. As lumber was an important industry during the time, the town moved with them. Not long after, Williamsburg Depot grew to a town of 6,000 - 7,000 people.<sup id="cite_ref-City_of_Collins_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-City_of_Collins-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Eventually, the difficulties of having such a long town name, Williamsburg Depot, became clear. The length caused many people to write it over their stamps, voiding the postage. In order to correct this issue, the postmaster asked to have the town name changed in 1905, and the postal service came up with a short and easy name "Bad". For reasons that may be clear, the residents rejected this name, and eventually came up with Collins, in honor of Fred W. Collins, leader of the state's Republican party and U. S. Marshal for the Southern District of Mississippi. The town's name was officially changed on November 24, 1906.<sup id="cite_ref-City_of_Collins_History_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-City_of_Collins_History-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Becoming_the_county_seat">Becoming the county seat</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Collins,_Mississippi&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Becoming the county seat"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1906, a portion of the west side of <a href="/wiki/Covington_County,_Mississippi" title="Covington County, Mississippi">Covington County</a> became <a href="/wiki/Jefferson_Davis_County" class="mw-redirect" title="Jefferson Davis County">Jefferson Davis County</a>.

The town population dwindled from 7,000 to 700. However, industry began to return to the town in 1936 when U.S. 49 and U.S. 84 were built, putting the town at the crossroads of these two major highways. In addition, the <a href="/wiki/Plantation_Pipeline" title="Plantation Pipeline">Plantation Pipeline</a> was run from <a href="/wiki/Baton_Rouge" class="mw-redirect" title="Baton Rouge">Baton Rouge</a> to the east coast.

By hosting a bazaar and through other various fundraising efforts, Duryea helped rebuild. Collins Mayor V.O. Smith and his wife, Ada, flew to Duryea to thank their mayor Keith Moss, organizer Trina Moss and the townspeople of Duryea.
