History

Formed in 1836 from Monroe County, Washington County and Tallahatchie County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Panola County was named after cotton and formed from Monroe, Washington, and parts of Tallahatchie County. In 1841, the county gained territory from Tunica County, but lost it back in 1871, and then lost additional territory to the creation of Quitman County in 1877.
